[quote=Anonymous]I moved from a TH to a SFH when my child was 2.5. I liked the TH, but the commute to DC was a killer, so I wanted to get closer to work. I also thought that maybe I needed a real yard since I had a kid. I miss that townhouse! I miss the smaller mortgage payment and the cute little yard that took about 5 minutes to mow. I miss the modern bathrooms and the big walk-in closet. I had to give all of that stuff up to afford a marginally bigger place with a yard. And we never use the yard - my daughter prefers the playground where there are other kids. I do like my neighborhood and the schools, so I don't regret the move. But if you have those things, don't trade them because you think you need a big yard. If you have a little outdoor space and can walk to a park with a playground, that's probably all you need.[/quote]
