We are both almost 70 and have been in a SFH for 26 years now. Prior to that we were in a TH for 10 years. The TH community was much noisier and parking was a big issue. We love our SFH and have not had issues with the stairs so far. We have railings on both sides all the way up since my husband put them in for his father who had a stroke years ago when he visited us. Nice to have.

As for the yard, my husband loves to garden and take care of it. We have a yard that looks like a botanical garden and everyone in the neighborhood loves it. He also loves to take care of the house (he's a big DIYer). It would be very hard to take this hobby away from him.

I am also a pretty big craft person and dedicate one room to sewing and making quilts. This was a blessing during COVID.

Finally we have an adult niece living in our finished basement. She has been with us for a year and will likely be with us for the foreseeable future. Her parents are in another country helping another one of their children and grandchildren.

In sum, we will probably be here until our 80's at least (all of our parents lived into their 90's). I don't feel any guilt for living here since we are living our best lives here (and keeping the place in very good shape).[/quote]
