[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a townhouse where garage is bottom floor and kitchen, living area is second floor. Two kids, born there and oldest is 7 now. We manage fine. One parent  brings the groceries from the car, the other puts them away. Sometimes annoying when we forget something and need to go back upstairs but overall not even close to a deal breaker.

This is a totally different scenario than OP. Imagine grocery shopping with your kids (groceries in basket below stroller) and lugging that up two flights of stairs. While you’re doing that, what do you do with your child? If you have a TH you can easily leave groceries in the garage while you secure your kid. OP will have to bring everything up at one time. She may be a hardcore baby carrier which might be fine until she has a second kid. Also, they won’t always have two parents every time they go out of the house.

I lived in a building with two elevators and only one went to the ground floor. When that elevator was out, it was very difficult to manage the long flight up with groceries and kids. It was also impossible for the nanny to manage and caused issues sometimes. If you do go with the cheaper condo, spend some of that money on fancy strollers like the yolo fold up one and a few baby carriers you like. [/quote]
