We moved from a small townhouse to an SFH that is much bigger. Our old house was three levels and had a finished basement with full bathroom in the basement. We didn't have a separate guest room, we had a pull out couch in the basement, but guests had their own bathroom. Our new house has a huge unfinished basement with a rough in for plumbing but we are probably 5 years away from finishing it. We do have a separate large guest room upstairs, but our kids have to move out of their bathroom into ours when we have guests.

We basically had a greenhouse in our foyer in our first house in the Bannockburn coop neighborhood in Bethesda. The original owners added on another 1200 sq ft to the not very well built 1800 sq ft original on a one level-no basement ranch. The front yard was southern facing, which meant nothing to me back then.

As a couple of 20 somethings, we were so captivated by the 10ft tall African Milk plants and Birds of Paradise in the foyer garden and the MCM architecture that we jumped to get it (for $290,000 in the late 90’s). We sold it with termite traps in every window sill. A few years down the road., I still yearn for the lovely, weird place where we lived with our first two kids. I’m so happy that the people who bought it haven't torn it down 20+ years later.

I miss all the fresh fruit and lavender from our garden. I miss seeing our house from inside a different part our house. I used to secretly watch the children play that way, and it was so sweet. I miss the mid-century charm of our old house.

Nothing. That is why we moved. We fixed all of the issues we had with the last house and threw in a few custom upgrades. However, that house was in a neighborhood with highway access, retail, restaurants, gas, etc nearby (also neighbors really close on each side). Now I’m on a larger plot of land, woodsy private area, but it’s a longer trek to get anywhere. But my house is pretty perfect!

Moved to a house and appreciate the added space and the more quiet environment. But I miss the walkability and easy commute from our townhouse -- could walk to everything we needed within 5-10 minutes including grocery stores, a metro stop, tons of restaurants, post office/Fedex/UPS, dry cleaners, retail.

My old house was flipped but nicely done. I miss how everything was new and fresh. Current house is old and has been updated over the years, but it still just has “old house” vibes and needs some work. But it’s much bigger and the neighborhood, schools, and commute are about as good as it gets. I can’t have it all!

I miss my old walk-in closet, the powder room (current house doesn't have one) and the renovated bathrooms. I can't afford to renovate mine. I also had a bigger deck at that house, and a smaller yard to mow.

Current house, neighborhood, neighbors and commute are better, though. And my kitchen has more storage.

I miss the stone floor in the laundry room and porch. It kept everything cold and was so nice to walk on. And the big yard.

It was in the city, and I could walk to everything. Metro, grocery stores, multiple farmers' markets, restaurants, work . . . everything. Our house in the burbs is great, and we renovated it exactly to our tastes. I still miss the old place, 11 years later.

We moved about a year ago, and I love our new house. Miss nothing about the old house. But I deeply mourn leaving behind all of the great restaurants that were within 15 minutes or so. Now we are living in the land of chain restaurants.

Oh, and my commute. It used to be 30 to 40 mins on the metro. It is now hellish, and involves a long drive on 95.

Old house backed up to a pond with migratory birds (no geese). Very soothing view out back.

No, except that since it was a rental, at least we didn't have to do any maintenance, but then again, some repairs and things were not done to our satisfaction.

We like our little house. We've outgrown it, but have never bought another. Our next house will be our retirement house, probably.

We had to move because our landlord died and his family wanted to sell the house. Our new house is bigger but has terrible (small) kitchen and pretty ugly on the outside. I miss the front porch of our old house every day....

we moved for good reasons this spring and I really love our new house but the kitchen and primary en suite bathroom were reconfigured and renovated just to our tastes at the old house and I miss how much they reflected our style. Those rooms are updated at the new place but not exact how I would have chosen

We moved for many good reasons and are very happy in our new home, but I still think wistfully of the kitchen we left behind. We had renovated it after careful thought. It was beautiful and functional and the buyers told our realtor that it sold them on the house the minute they saw it. We now have an older kitchen and many other priorities so any remodeling looks a long way off.
