[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My house is probably the same square footage but it’s a tall skinny townhouse with no yard versus a single story house on a quarter acre. It’s impossible to compare but I think we did ok. Eventually I would love a yard but I'm happy with this is my 30s. [/quote]
I went from a townhouse to a SFH with a small yard last year (a pandemic purchase so we would have outdoors space for our kids). I have to say, so far with toddlers, the yard is overrated. It's just something to mow and weed. Still, I love the house and deck and patio, so I'm happy overall, but I could do without so much yard.[/quote]

For us: A nearby park >>> big lawn. We got a row house with a big deck and patio near a park. We did a yard once, never again.[/quote]

Totally disagree, and science agrees with me: green spaces are extremely therapeutic.  Especially now working from home, being able to escape to my own oasis anytime I want, multiple times a day (I spent lots of $$ on trees and landscaping to make it nice), is priceless.[/quote]
Green spaces are great. I think the debate is whether or not we need to own/maintain that space ourselves and how big it needs to be? I have a small townhouse with a little yard, a couple nice trees, and some hostas, that look out on a walking path. When it isn't too buggy, it's a lovely place to sit and enjoy nature, plus I get to see my neighbors as they walk by, and I don't have to own a lawn mower. I don't think a larger private backyard would give me that much more therapeutic bang for my buck.[/quote]
