[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]…and now those kids are grown, [b]have you considered moving back to the city? [/b]

Although I have loved our time here raising our family, now that my youngest is off to college soon, I find myself experiencing increasing discontentment here. I wonder if others who grew up in the city and came to the suburbs to raise a family have felt this way too and what you chose to do. [/quote]

Where is the city? Did you live in the city with your family growing up? or you're just looking for city life after the kids are gone?

I live in Fairfax Co. Suburbs and would love to move back to Arlington but I don't think we could afford anything similar to what we have now. 
We are in our early 50s and I do hate the quietness of our neighborhood.

Then I also think if we ever have grandkids I would not want them to come and visit us in a tiny apartment on the city. I would love for them to come and visit us where we are now, plenty of room and yard space, etc.

Fairfax Co. it's still probably "city" in many aspects, I think if I was nested in the middle of nowhere, I would be depressed and would definitely want to move.

You can't base the entire rest of your life planning on having more space in your house for hypothetical visits from hypothetical grandkids.  Unless you like setting yourself up for disappointment.[/quote]
