[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]32 and 35 with one DD in daycare. Just bought a 400k 3 bedroom TH in West Springfield.  Lovely neighbors, lovely view, good schools and no yard to deal with![/quote]

just curious about the "no yard to deal with"  Are families actually seeking out places without yards?  I would have thought that the goal would be to have a yard for the kids to play in.  Do families with no yards seek out places close to a park/playground or something?

We lived in a TH with a child for 5 years.  We even lived close to many parks and playgrounds, but I know having a fenced in backyard was a HUGE part of our recent home search.   It didn't have to be big - just enough space for our child to run around close to home.

I realize thay downtown living is different than suburban living.  I'm just trying to figure out if people in the burbs are actually seeking out "no yard"[/quote]

In clarendon a block from Metro. We have a SFH with a small yard.  We didn't want lots of yardwork.  We moved from the city where we had no yard--just brick patio.  The yard now is perfect...fenced in for kids to play, bbq area- but can be mowed front and back in about 10-15min.  Many parks to walk to nearby which is where we head evenings and weekends.  The kids mainly use the yard for unsupervised kid play.  I am happy we have some yard--but def. didn't want tons of land or no ability to walk everywhere (grocery stores, gym, school, restaurants, etc)[/quote]
