Where you live...

missy123 · #1 October 24th, 2011, 01:03 PM

Do you like where you live? Is it an apartment, with family, in a house? If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

I live in an apartment hi-rise building and really like my place but wish I lived back in the south. We are looking to move to GA in July! Yippppppeeee

I live in SC Missy! I love GA! We live in a one story three bedroom house. I like it but I am hoping we will out grow it soon! We would love to live in a house with a lot of property in the country.

Dh and I live in his family home. I never thought I would love living in the country. I wouldn't leave the country for anything. We live on a small farm with lots of land. I was sitting on the porch thinking yesterday how nice it is. Our goat which is older and dosen't leave the yard was just walking around. Our horse Willow seems to know where she can go. Our fences got knocked down by deer and we haven't put them back up. She goes to the large field and plays then she comes back in.

we have a house. I really don't like this town so almost anywhere else would be better. We have a 5 year plan to move closer to my family.

I can't complaint.....We live in CA, good weather, and real estate sucks, we have a house with a little yard. I live where we live. Coming from living in a apt for 9 months where we didn't have space, neighbors complaint about the noise (a 2 year old makes a lot of noise).

We live in a really nice duplex in South Eugene

However, we are wanting to move to Albany to be closer to family. We love Oregon, it's beautiful here!

I live in my Cape home, in the Cape..haha how cute! Massachusetts is really expensive to live... I would love to be in the south somewhere where it's warmer! But all of our family is here...and I couldn't imagine leaving!

I lived in Atlanta for 6 years and love GA. Never really thought of moving back there until I got together with my husband who grew up in Savannah. He took me there on vacation once and I fell in love with the place. We got married in tybee and I am really looking forward to raising Scarlett in the south. A cutie southern girl with some NY attitude

Any chance your family lives in GA?

California is one of the states I have never been to. I have friends that live there but have yet to even visit. I hear real estate is insanely expensive.

I live on the coast of Maine which is nice enough, but I'd really rather live somewhere else. I live in my BF's trailer and I hate, hate, HATE it!! Did I mention that I hate it? He has a plan to build a house, but he doesn't seem motivated enough to get on it. He wants to build himself a big workshop first and I don't understand that at all. I think a house is way more important, especially since we're going to be expanding our family. Plus, he already has a workshop. It's small, but it's something. This place is way too small, and he's too much of a slob. One good thing about living here, is we share part of a driveway with my best friend so we're really close and get to spend a ton of time together.

When I was still with my ex-husband, we bought an RV & traveled across the country for 3 months. I LOVED it and found so many places where I'd love to live. Ideally, I'd live in Montana again. That is my true home and I feel like it's the most beautiful place on Earth. I also loved Kentucky, Tennessee, Wyoming, Nevada, & Texas.

We recently moved from a busy city in NJ (10 miles from NYC) a house we were renting. I hated it! The neighborhood was nice enough, but I hated the house, hated that I couldn't go anywhere - the traffic was horrible and I felt trapped.

to the outskirts of Martinsburg WV, it is all country out here, cow, pastures, corn, hay. I missed the country! I love it here!

We bought the house, it is kind of on the small side and if we decide to ttc again after #3(if we ever get there) we will need a bigger place. The bedroom the boys share hardly fits their beds, the other bedroom is even smaller - It will be a tight squeeze.

But I am not sure I want to give up my view, so maybe an addition ?

missy123 · #13 October 26th, 2011, 05:22 AM

wow - NJ to WV? That is a huge culture change

I love the country but not sure if I would want to live in one again. I love small towns but still want the convenience of big city living. I am a suburban girl.

humnck · #14 October 26th, 2011, 07:25 AM

I live in DE in a 4 bedroom house, we bought it 5 years ago. I would love to go back to renting - lol! House maintenance (even on a brand new house) sucks...haha! We live in a development. I love living in a development, but would love to be closer to my parents or in the south...I LOVE NC, SC, haven't really been to GA, but I am sure it's just as lovely as the other two

The thing that I dislike most about my house is the way they did the kitchen - there is a ton of space, but they did not utilize it well, so we lack in cabinet and counter space - booo!!! I do love that we have a beatiful morning room with lots of windows that look out into the woods/over a small pond!

acchickpea · #15 October 26th, 2011, 08:35 AM

DH and I bought a 4 bedroom house in a developement in New Jersey 4 years ago... (We took a big hit when the housing market turned sour... sucks) we bought a 4 bedroom thinking we would have used all of the rooms by now but unfortunatly not... May be we should've gotton a smaller house but who knew.... I would love to live in a place where there has more land where the neighbors are near but not too close.. where the weather is 60's to high70's all year round.... close to the city but far enough to make you think you're in the country... when I look out of my window I would like to see nature and not my neighbor... whereever that is That is where I want to go.......

It is more expensive, but after a year in Belgium, I am considering CA as cheap

. Real estate is a killer out there, you pay tons of almost nothing.

I live in a nice 3 bedroom house just outside Edinburgh, Scotland

I really like where i live its quiet but nice neighbours and all my family is close by which is good as i help look after my mum

The only thing i dont like bout Scotland is the cold weather and it is so unpredictable lol

I live in UT as well. We just recently built a home and moved from a Townhouse with no yard to a beautiful home with a nice yard. I love living in UT with all the different scenic sights and the changing of the weather. And of course because I live in UT I don't ski
