[quote=Anonymous]We lived in a townhouse and then bought a single family house. We tremendously dislike yard work so we outsourced that. We prefer the SFH-less stairs, you don't hear your neighbors, etc. However, I highly recommend that you evaluate the yard carefully before buying a SFH. The house we bought was in fairly good condition, most of the work we had to do was cosmetic. However, the yard needed work and we didn't realize the cost involved. There was a drainage problem in the yard which we did not discover until about 9 months living in the house. We had to get the yard graded, we had to cut down some old trees that weren't stable; we had to do a couple of other projects. It was expensive. So evaluate the yard, make sure there isn't major problems. We added a few low-maintenance plants and trees, and outsourced the yard work. That's been a big help. But again, definately spent more on the yard that we anticipated.[/quote]
