[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, wait.  We got a 900 square foot 3 bedroom house and I really regret it.  For the first few baby years, it was great.  Kid could not go very far and easy to supervise.  Now kid is older and the toys are everywhere and very little space for anything or anyone.  One bathroom sucks.  We are lucky to have a basement to gain some space but if I had to do it over again, I'd do at least 1800-2500 square feet and move further out if we had to.[/quote]

900 sf is doable for a family of 3. It sounds like your problem is that your kid is messy. Either teach him
To clean or get a housekeeper. You'd be shocked at how much more you will appreciate your house.

I would personally choose the 900 sf row house in the city with the short commute than 1800 sf in the boonies with the long commute[/quote]

What are you talking about?  We don't have a ton of stuff, our house is very clean and organized.  Our living room and dining room are tiny.  You can barely get a couch, tv stand, ottoman and tv in it.  Same with our dining room.  The bedrooms are about the same size.  My kid only has a twin bed, book self and tall dresser.    The rooms are tiny.  We have built-ins and our house is well laid out considering.  We don't have a row house, we have a single family house.  I'm assuming you have a large house.  Also, we have family/friends visiting so it can easily become 5-7 people for weeks at a time.[/quote]
