We really enjoy our 20 acre yard and surrounds now. When the kids were toddlers I wasn’t sure it was worth living out this far, 45 minutes from downtown. The house is 2280 sqft. Right now we have an aunt and uncle and grandfather and grandmother staying here for a week. It’s perfectly comfortable.
When the first kid was born, I moved the family from a nice 1800 sqft. detached house in a dense part of the city for what I consider better family living…each to his own of course. There are some places I might like to live in the city instead, but not many. We can move back when the nest empties and that will probably be desirable.
