[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 5 and 8 and we have basically no yard, just a small slate patio, that it. It was pretty much fine until a couple of years ago and now I kind of wish we had one. They do go out the patio to play but it's so small it's pretty limited as to what they can do. However, now they are reaching the age where we can send them to the little grassy area across the street and I don't feel I need to actually go with them, I just keep an eye on them from inside the house. In another year I think I will feel comfortable sending them to the park 2 blocks from here alone. IMHO, the ages that a yard is really useful is about 2-6, and then they become busier with school and outside activities and don't use it as much. For me that's a relatively short time and if I were making a housing choice, the yard would be a lower priority than commute, schools, etc.[/quote]
