(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): Yes

Heat is easy to regulate in most of the house, but there is one bedroom which is always really hot when the heat is on, and one which doesn't really get any heat at all.

Are your neighbors towns-people, students, or a mix? Townspeople
For whom is the noise level appropriate? Rowdy college students

In a poorer neighborhood. Neighbors have been polite and friendly. There are some old church ladies and some younger (20s-30s) folk as well. Quite a few kids. We have had parties and never gotten any noise complaints.
