[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a toddler and an infant in a mid-sized 3-storey townhouse in Petworth. Tiny front yard, rear deck. So far so good. Two keys to making this work. First, keep your house free of unnecessary junk and furniture. Our living room and basement are quite open (for example, no coffee table in the living room), and this adds to the overall sense of space and gives the toddler room to play in. Second, spend time outside when weather permits. We go to our neighborhood pocket park and nearby playground frequently, and sometimes just take a walk around the block. Young kids get absorbed pretty easily - it doesn't take anything fancy to keep them entertained for at least a little while. One last thing: Young kids need parental attention and care more than they need a large backyard, so if a townhome means a shorter commute and more family time than a SFH, then I think the trade-off is worth it.

Yes but schools and poor people.  Has your son met the dope fiends and thugs that live in your hood?  [/quote]

Could you just pretend that the PP had said Rosslyn or Ballston or Bethesda instead of Petworth, just so we can discuss house type and not race, class etc? [/quote]
