[quote=Anonymous]Op I actually used to live 5 blocks south of the Damen one in a second story walk up. It was not an issue before kids although was kind of annoying when you had groceries and it was snowing or freezing. I now have 2 kids and live in a big SFH. We buy a lot of groceries. It would absolutely suuuuuck if I was dragging groceries for all 4 of us up two flights of stairs. Also, you have no idea how much stuff / how many times you run back to grab something when trying to get out the door with kids. Especially more than 1 kid. Your newborn now is easy because you can plop him in the carrier and he can’t leave. Squirmy toddlers, constantly needing to go potty, suddenly spilled water everywhere and needs to change their shirt etc. it’s annoying! I’m in good shape too, OP, but thinking about getting out of the house solo with my two toddlers sounds like a nightmare. Because I then have to buckle them in the car and leave them while I run up and grab the rest of the stuff, or I leave them alone in the condo while I load the car. Would be worried they’d fall down the stairs or wander off if I let them roam. In my cul de sac I can keep an eye on them while I load the car. There will be times when you or your wife will take the kids on solo outings and the logistics are way more than you can imagine right now.

Also...one day we will travel again, and then nightmare of packing and getting out of the house for a long trip with stairs also sounds miserable. At the end of the day, is it all doable? Sure- but painful, and your wife may be resentful.

The deck is great I Agree but you live in Chicago. It’s a few months of the year that you’ll use it. Keep looking or choose the one with the elevator [/quote]
