I always tell my children that we will probably never live in a big grand house because I would rather go on vacation and we always forgo spending money on our house to go to Disneyland! I really like the neighbourhood we live in.

Anywho, my neighborhood used to be a pretty swingin' neighborhood but now there are much better places to live. I wish I could move, but I can't afford to. Plus, there are so many memories in this house that I would miss it. My Grandpa died in this house, very peacefully in his sleep as I held his hand. We laid a patio in the backyard and spruced it up a bit so the backyard is one of my favorite places to hang out. That is, if the neighbors aren't home. Their loud music and loud antics drive me nuts!! I do have to give a shout-out to my two across-the-street-neighbors that make living there tolerable. They watch out for us single ladies and are the first to offer help if needed, whether it be moving appliances or taking garbage to the curb. I guess they don't think a gal should be doing a man's job. I love those guys!

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I live in a house too. I am so hoping we get to keep it. A couple years ago my husband and I both lost our jobs and the mortgage is way too high for us now because we're both lucky enough to have found other jobs, but we make way less than we use to. We might be getting a loan modification. which has been a complete nightmare so far to try and accomplish. I'm hoping though. Because our house is perfect for us and I'd be really sad to have to leave it. I've done both of our kids room and made them both awesome. It'd break my heart to have to move away from their rooms.

It's thought of as a very nice neighborhood but the neighbors drive us crazy Loud pool parties and blasting speakers make us count the days until the rain. We put in triple paned windows and turn on the fans. Hmm, maybe we will move. Then again in the not too distant future we can just turn our hearing aides off

Our neighbors are freaking Sanford and Son. Our doors face each other and honestly, every day they add more crap to either the front of their apartment or the picnic area they created using an empty patch of grass. It started out looking pleasant. A picnic table and some solar lights. They keep adding stuff from the 99 Cent Store, though. The latest item is a giant light-up flower that they stuck into a bush next to the table. Can you imagine? I'll HAVE to take a picture of it to show everyone.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 I'm in an apartment. For the first time in 20 years. Oy! The Pros - Takes about 1 hour to clean. LOL I don't have to do the maintenance. Nor mow the lawn. Insurance is cheaper. I only pay a third of what my mortgage was. My house utilities used to equal my entire rent here. The Cons - No garden No backyard No doggie No air circulationg due to front and back doors. White walls. Hate wall to wall carpet. Can't blast MY music. Have to hear other people's music/tv/pleasuring. Lack of storage/cabinet space. Dinky kitchen. Electric stove - ugh! I miss having a house!!!!
Originally Posted By LPFan22 We live in a teeny tiny apartment but it's just the 3 of us (me, hubby, 1 cat). It's conveniently located to Disneyland and to the bus stop so we can get where we need to go. It's quiet for the most part and clean. Just small. This is just a stepping stone. I long for a modest house in a less congested area.

Originally Posted By alexbook Depends whom you ask. The landlord calls it a bachelor apartment; the city calls it a motel room. I hate it, but it's what I can afford.
Originally Posted By chickapin I have lived in the same house for 27 years. I've always been grateful to have it, but have never liked the layout. The backhoe arrives Monday to level the garage and when it is rebuilt we start on the house. Finally I will have the open kitchen and great room I have been dreaming of!

The house is spacious and lovely but a little dated. Could be fixed up really nicely with some reno's we will see how long we are here.
