[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just moved from a condo to a townhouse with a front porch and backyard. We rarely use the yard but love the porch. As long as you have some relaxing outdoor space for yourself, you should be ok. Kids don't need a yard. Parents do.[/quote]

I haven't found that to be true at all.  My kids spend tons of time in the yard, especially in summer.  They run around, play tag, run in the sprinkler etc.; I can't imagine not having one for them.[/quote]

+1 I have a 4yo and 6yo and they are outside for at least a little while every day.  They have a playset and like playing on the hammock or their water table.  They like to help me plant flowers, look at bugs, and run around and play in the sprinkler or with their water guns.  They have friends over and they play outside.  When they were younger we had a sand box and water table on the deck that they were obsessed with.  It's nice for me to let them go out while i do chores inside or i will sit on the deck with my kindle or ipad while they do stuff.

Look for a low maintenance lawn. Some are, some aren't. Find a lot that just need to be mowed.  They don't need to be "treated" for mice or other pests lol.  Some people on here are a bit to urban clueless.[/quote]
