@moneyptu2015 Agreed, it’s one of the most desirable neighborhoods in our whole state, and for a good reason. Unfortunately it’s one of the only ways we’ve seen in a while- anything under 500K is rare in this area, and they’re all fixer uppers anyway. The neighborhood is either small fixer...

@moneyptu2015 No, but we are in the Southeast!

@gladysrivera Thanks for the response! Our good friends down the street from House A are building an addition with a 2 year old and a 8 month pregnant mama…and she is so stressed lol. Doesn’t seem fun but would be inevitable, as House A would eventually require a second story to be added and we...

@brucepjr True! We like the location of house A better, which is why it’s become a tough decision. If we could pick up house B and put it in neighborhood A, we would lol

@starlightviolet199 I know it seems so silly but at one point we lived a 15 minute drive from our friends who had also just had babies, and we never saw them 😂 now that we could live down the street from so many of our friend couples, it would just make play dates easier. And as a SAHM, I’d love...

@katrina2017 Gotcha, so you’d say that in your experience, walkability and convenience is more valuable than more space?

@naka Short and to the point and I salute you for it 😂

@uniquetexasgirl What’s funny is that in this area there’s several contracting companies that offer services to add a second story without the family having to move out, because so many people in neighborhood A eventually have to add on 😂 so it would be stressful but doable for sure

@uniquetexasgirl Ugh I agree…this is why I’m stuck lol. We DO technically have the ability to update if we save now and commit to the idea, we’d just likely not get that money back if we ever needed to sell. Both options are doable and seem wonderful for opposite reasons.

@yeremy True! Maybe I should be more clear- option A’s “walkability” is to schools, parks, friends, shops, etc that can really help in killing time during the day as a SAHM. Especially with one of my best friends being just around the corner. House B isn’t in a set “neighborhood”; there are no...

@sadume True. We’ve remodeled a kitchen before and it was stressful lol. House B is considerably more expensive than House A, but we get more bang for our buck house/land wise. After all needed renos for House A, it would end up being the same cost as House B. So overtime we’d spend the same...

Let’s pretend you are a SAHP to a 2 year old with plans for several more children, and you had the choice of two houses: House A- very desirable neighborhood. Excellent school system. Wonderful walkability, would walk to parks, shops, ice cream, etc. Neighbors consist of young families with...
