[quote=Anonymous]We bought a home that is the perfect size.  It is not large.  It has 3 bedrooms/1 bath upstairs.  The basement has a bedroom and full bath. It is in a VERY walkable area.  IT has just the right size yard--can be mowed very quickly--but nice patio and garden area.  2 blocks from Metro.  The attic was also finished.

We don't have to downsize. People are looking for houses our size to downsize to from their 3,000-5,000+ homes, but they aren't building them anymore in my neighborhood.  Anything that gets torn down has had a 6 bedroom, 5 bath home built in its place.

We like being 2 miles to DC and walking to all our exercise studios, restaurants and stores.  Most people stay forever.

We thought about buying another property in Maine or somewhere we like to visit for part of the year--but we held off because we like traveling other places.  Most likely, I will do what my aunt and uncle do--rent somewhere a few months in the winter (or more likely for us in the DC summers because we can't stand the heat and humidity).

Our kids will likely stay in this area too--their intended line of work fits the best here.[/quote]
