[quote=Anonymous]I think people care too much what others think. There is no right or wrong, and frankly I think kids care more about where they live relative to where their friends live.  I was raised in Brooklyn, all of my friends were pretty much raised in apartments, that is just the way it was and we never thought anything of it. We played in Prospect Park in the summers and went to Coney Island. My brother is a lot younger than me and spent his childhood/teenage years in a SFH in Florida with a yard and a pool, living the way I did is completely foreign to him and he has since relocated to Dallas for a similar lifestyle.

I lived in a large SFH with ok lot sizes and you never really saw kids outside playing even with all of the outdoor space.  We moved to an area that has more THs (though we are not in one) and the tot lots and play areas are ALWAYS busy if the temperature is above 60 degrees.  I personally like a private lot for myself more than for my kid (I do a lot of projects that require outdoor space).  But I prefer cul de sac living for my son because he can ride his little bike, play ball, draw on the sidewalk, etc. without through traffic, however that is a function of the location of your home versus the type of home for the most part.

Personally, we are looking for a raised rambler type of home now because we want more one level living but I would also move into a nice TH in a heartbeat.[/quote]
