Best: Location. We live in a great, family-friendly neighbourhood; on a small, quiet cul-de-sac, and behind the 5th best school in the city (and it's not even a private or charter school!). We also live 2 blocks from the ridge of a provincial park so we have access to hundreds of kilometres of trails and green space.
Worst: Our house has absolutely no curb appeal. It is U.G.L.Y. on the outside! We moved from across the country and I forgot what it looked like and I remember when we pulled up, I was like, "THIS is our house?!?! Ew!!!" Thank goodness the interior is a different story!
-
Best: Modern, fairly new, and I just really like the look of it - we didn't have to change anything when we moved in because I already loved all the paint, fixtures, wood finishes, etc.
Worst: Not a lot of storage space. No basement and the attic needs to have boards laid down, there's not much of a floor at the moment.
-
We rent a 2 bedroom apartment so there are several negatives related to space, but I do like the floor plan a lot. The living room and kitchen are a big rectangle and the bedrooms are behind the main living area.
I don't love our kitchen, but I think the worst space is our bathroom. It is cramped and the layout is bad. There is no storage and no room to add storage (like standing cabinets). Plus the shower has doors and they drive me crazy. I think it feels more cramped because we have to keep our cat's litter box in there.
-
Best: upstairs laundry! It's on the 2nd floor next to the bedrooms, yay! Open concept main floor. 2 full size walk-in closets in the master bedroom.
Worst: small 3rd bedroom, I'd have made the 2nd floor layout different (too bad the builder didn't consult me!
) also, the yard is kinda small

We have a rental and I'd say:
Best: huge backyard
Worst: Super tiny kitchen.
-
Best: layout is fantastic for our family, 4 good sized bedrooms, plenty of storage. The master bedroom is really large, there are two big walk-in closets and the master bath is a good size.
Worst: new construction so there isn't a ton of charm. Also, still noticing some nail pops a year after into owning it. Our living area doesn't get a ton of natural light but I think we'll install 2 extra windows.

@HLK208: can you add your amazing floors to the 'best' list? I often tell DH we need 'Hlk's floors' he literally knows what I mean at this point!
-
@babyjmama: really?! I love YOUR floors. Don't you have real hardwood? For some reason, all new construction homes around my area only have engineered hardwood - including my house! I love the real stuff
-
@HLK208: we do have real hardwood but it isn't great quality, they chip and scratch easily. I like the textured look of yours!!
-
Best: Lots of natural light, new carpet and wallpaper, nice neighbours, good storage space, large bedrooms, big yard, large separate laundry
Worst: Original 1950's kitchen (good condition but it's not big enough for all our kitchen stuff!), tiny bathroom, small living spaces, no open plan anything.
We're currently living in military rental accommodation so it's been a case of living in the house we were allocated and although it's overall a nice enough house it's 80 square metres smaller than the house we moved from!
