[quote=Anonymous]Commute - I wanted to be less than 20 minutes to the elementary school from my work.

Schools - good school, but somewhere where my child would be middle of the road in terms of HHI/socioeconomic background.  I also didn’t want the pressure cooker environment of some of the “top” schools

Walkable/sidewalks - didn’t find anything that was really walkable to restaurants/stores, but we wanted sidewalks and the ability to walk to
elementary school/pool/park/friends.

House - three full baths and at least 5 rooms with doors that closed.  We wanted two bedrooms, a guest room and two offices.  Also wanted a separate place for kids to hang put (basement/rec room).  Also wanted something that felt solid - not a hasty new build.

Budget - mortgage payment that would be easily doable on one salary- this we didn’t REALLY get - but it would be possible if we cut back on indulgent spending.

We didn’t get a garage or a porch, and the closet/storage space/bedroom size isn’t great - but some of those things can be fixed with renovations.
