[quote=Anonymous]I would wonder how many of these things really are "essential" as in you wouldn't buy a house without them and which are just "if I had the perfect house" which for most of us isn't going to happen. For example, we thought we wanted a yard, but we live in our neighborhood with our yard with. I fewer than 6 awesome playgrounds within .25 miles (two are at the bottom and top of our street and we can see them from our front porch). Perhaps as a result, we never use the back yard other than that we have a little vegetable garden. So whereas I thought nice flat yard would be essential, it turns out I would strongly prefer lots of parks next door - kids like it more bc we make friends who are always there, it's different playgrounds, etc. And it seems like some is personal preference, like the all bedrooms upstairs versus the no stairs people. Really? Get a house in a good location where the commute isnt soul sucking and where you would send your kids to the school (assuming no private). Everything else is just gravy. [/quote]
