[quote=Anonymous]We bought our house before we had our child.  I insisted on a 2 car garage.  I am SO glad.  I have friends who have on street parking only and a steep set of steps to climb to get into their house.  It is a PITA with my 10 year old, a birthday gift, and a covered dish.  I cannot imagine how angry I would be in the rain, with a preschooler, an infant carrier, and my weekly groceries.  And forget about dealing with on street parking after snow storms.

I wish we had thought more about the community, or lack thereof.  Our community is very small and it is off of a major road.  So we can walk the dog around our cul de sac, but if you venture out on to the major road, there are cars 3 feet away from you traveling at 50+ mph.  Hard to have a nice, chatty, family walk with speeding cars and the traffic noise.  I always feel like I am on guard when I walk the dog alone, let alone with my child.  I also wish we had given some thought to the amenities in the neighborhood.  We have sidewalks and that is about it.  After we had our child, I wished that we had tot lots, a pool (I would LOVE to have a pool in my neighborhood), a park nearby.  Something like that.  We have no amenities other than sidewalks.[/quote]
