[quote=Anonymous][quote]which are just "if I had the perfect house" which for most of us isn't going to happen. ... 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]

This is pretty subjective and depends on each individual's lifestyle and preferences. We cared more about the yard than the house. We could have bought a bigger fancier house on a tint lot near a playground but opted for an older less exciting house on a great lot. When the kids were infants and toddlers I used to think that the yard was a waste but now that they are in elementary school, we would die without the yard. Its a quiet, safe neighborhood, the yard is fenced and the kids can play outside by themselves. If we were in the tony lot/walk to a close playground situation I would need to be going with them whenever they wanted to play outside. The level of physical activity, outdoor time, and no stress/easy playdates the the yard facilitates is very valuable to us.[/quote]
