What is the favorite thing about your house/condo (wherever you live)? 

[Unknown]

Are yard. We put up a privacy fence last spring, so we have a great large safe place to send the dog and kid(s). Plus it's on a cul-de-sac so we don't get a lot of traffic.

The privacy. We have an acre of land. There is a field on one side of our property, woods behind us, and we only have one set of neighbors.

Because I'm currently spending the weekend housesitting.... our baby proofing. I never realized just how much easier it makes life.

As far as real house features, I love our kitchen. We have a huge island with seating around it and that is usually the where everyone ends up when they come to visit.

Having more space. We moved from a 1bdr, 1bath, 1closet apartment and it's been great to have places to store items and put them back!

Our huge covered front patio. DD eats all of her meal out there, rain or shine. It's easy clean up (the birds and lizards get the crumbs) and we're near a main road so we talk about the people, bikes, cars, ambulances etc going by. Also our ceilings inside are super high and there are fans in every room, a God sent 8 months out of the year.

Our backyard. it's pretty big. we have a shed for all my crap. we have a pool which is needed during summer because I live in the desert. We have a fenced side yard that will be for little ones play area.

The ease of cleaning our 860 sq foot ranch. Its super small, which has a lot of disadvantages but how quickly it is to clean is the best thing about it. That wont last much longer for us since we are searching and buying a bigger home this year.

Just the style in general. It's an old farm house on a good amount of land...my only neighbors are DH's family

The location. Our house is small. 980 sq ft. It a five minute walk to the elementary school, a park, and public transportation. It is also near my in-laws. It is 10 minutes from work. The diversity in the neighborhood. A fenced backyard for the dog and DS.

We have a fire pit in our back yard. I love it! It was a rather unexpected wedding gift that we've really enjoyed having.

[legitsince86]

redfraggle that reminds me, we were gifted 3 firepits for our wedding. We couldn't believe the chances.

[wowcheezits]

I just love my house. I love it! It has a nice big fenced in back yard with a cement platform in the back with a basketball hoop and space for a nice grill/picnic table setup. Landlord just installed a new glass sliding door yesterday. Right now I don't have enough furniture. I have a whole downstairs that I plan on making into an entertainment room so we want to get a second furniture set with LCD tv. There's another full bathroom downstairs we're not even using.

This summer I'm going to get a new gas grill and a brazier. I can't wait for the nice weather to come!

[zoly1103]

I really love just about everything. It's not too big, not too small. Just an average home. But it's ours and I love it.

[joi922]

We're currently renting and hoping to buy soon. We know the thing well miss most is being able to call for repairs 24/7 and not having to pay for those repairs.

[jlprybs927]

Our neighbors! They have become friends more than just neighbors and hate to think of ever having any other neighbors!! Also the look of the house outside. Like an old farmhouse!!

legitsince86, and I thought 3 fondue pots was overwhelming...

The fenced backyard and the proximity to family (only 2 hours away now instead of 3.5)

That our house is completely, 100% OURS. No rent, no mortgage, just ours.

[RedDDD]

our house was a complete and total gut job and I lived without a kitchen for 3 weeks and a bathroom for one week. Its been hell BUT our kitchen is fabulous. Thankfully my hubs is a general contractor so we did all the work ourselves. The house is a tad small for us but its fine for now when the kids are little. This is the house we will sell so we can get our down payment for our forever house. Maybe the best thing about the house is the location. We are right next door to a small farm. THey do a corn maze and have animals for the kids. The kids just love it and I can get all my produce from them. Awesome!
