[quote=Anonymous]We have two boys and a house with no basement and it is less of an issue for us now than it was when they were very small. We do have a decent amount of extra space - a small first-floor playroom that houses all their toys plus a couch, as well as an office and a large dining room that has seen some floor hockey action. And we have some storage in an attic and good closets. As they get older, their toys shrink... legos take up a lot less space than the toddler stuff. In a few years our playroom will be a video game room I'm sure (haven't hit that phase yet) and it will be perfectly sized.

I would like a basement in theory but life without one is not automatically hell, as long as you have other kid spaces. If I had the basement that my friends with million-plus houses have - large and light-filled - I'd definitely want one. But I know a lot of people at our more limited price point whose basements are constant sources of headaches because of flooding. Anyway, for me, all this stuff would be outweighed by issues you haven't mentioned: schools, neighborhood, commute.  [/quote]
