[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in a condo with a young child in the Bethesda area. A neighbor actually pulled me aside outside and said something along the lines of, “Look around, people with children do not live here. This is not an appropriate place for children.”

I was floored, it was an incredibly rude and inappropriate comment, but it was also rather true.

Having someone live directly below us who complained about every jump or ball bounce was incredibly stressful. We all felt an enormous relief when we moved into a SFH and my child could run around without fear.

DP. There are many families with children in our building. I've never had any issues whatsoever. How do people think families raise children in densly populated cities where detached homes are off limits or virtually non-existent?[/quote]

High density cities have much lower fertility rates, so clearly it’s not conducive to raising children. Especially if you want more than 1 or 2 kids. There is a very strong negative correlation between density and total fertility rates. [/quote]

And? Most condos are not big enough to have 3+ children, but this doesn't make condos inherently bad to raise children as DP suggests. A couple can raise a child in one as long as the child has its own room. I've lived in houses and condos that were full of families with children. I don't remember hearing them running around. Condos also tend to be close to playgrounds and parks so the lack of space is not really a problem.[/quote]
