[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your housing situation or what do you aspire your housing situation to be. We will send our youngest to college in a couple years and our house just feels like a tiresome obligation to me. It has served us well during the kids childhood and I am so thankful, but it’s going to need updates eventually (kitchen, baths, floors, paint, yardwork beyond normal maintenance) and it just sounds so exhausting to me.

I don’t want a small condo - I still want my kids to have a comfortable space to be when they come home, at least until they are full established/working/done with grad school/etc.

We came from a townhome before this house. I didn’t like the vertical living or the lack of privacy on our deck or the lack of guest parking.

So I think we are stuck with single family but I want smaller but still in a nice area. Does this even exist?[/quote]

So find a larger condo or a TH.   Condos are typically the best because your HOA fees cover everything except the "inside of the condo".  So it truly is maintenance free living.  And it's even better if you renovate before you move in, so it truly can be maintenance free.

But with a house, you will always be responsible for maintenance, and sure you can hire it out, but you have to manage all of that.  With a condo, you pay your HOA monthly and it's all done for you.

Ask me how I know....

It's definately a great life once empty nester
