I love all the space we have to stretch out in our 2,200 sq foot home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504552 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:35:00 +0000 Running Elley 504552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We have 1300 square feet now and there's no way we could downsize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504551 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:34:35 +0000 Mrs.B 504551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Our house is 4500sf and such a pain to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504495 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:01:40 +0000 blackbird 504495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooo. We have 2,000 square feet and a finished basement and I still want more space. Bigger kitchen, main floor laundry, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504441 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:26:43 +0000 Bookish 504441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, our house is 1600sq ft, and while it's too big for the 2 of us, when LO comes it will be perfect! We plan on getting a bigger house when LO is about 10, and then downsizing to a small, manageable place when LO is out of the house. I told DH at that point I want a cheap, small house so I can spend my money on travel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504440 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:26:33 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 504440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I love the amount of space we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504431 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:20:01 +0000 Andrea 504431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not until the kids are off to college. Then we'll move out of this crazy high property tax area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504396 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:02:41 +0000 PurplePumps 504396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I wouldn't mind a smaller house at all if it made financial sense to move. Our house is about 3200 sf and it's just too much space right now. We want 2 kids, and even then I think it's too much space. I think 2000-2500 would be perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504395 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:02:26 +0000 MaisyMay 504395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in a 650 sq/ft apartment right now. The only way I'd think about moving is if the balcony footage could become part of a room. That would give us an additional 72 sq/ft of interior space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504334 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:40:16 +0000 Bao 504334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! We live in a 700 sq ft apartment right now and we are looking into a 2000 sq ft home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504333 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:39:18 +0000 DillonLion 504333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We are in 1600 sq feet now and it feels too small almost already </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504327 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:38:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 504327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. our apt is 1600? sq feet now, and i would move someplace a little smaller because we're moving for school district. but the place after our next place will hopefully be a forever place so i don't mind living somewhere small in the interim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504323 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:36:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 504323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Price. We're already in a 2 bedroom 1000 sq ft so it'd need to be significantly cheaper to make it worth it. Especially since we are hoping to move somewhere bigger so we can have another baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504312 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:32:36 +0000 mrsmate 504312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely would! It's not about square footage, it's about intelligent use of space. For me, the ideal residence would be ~900-1000sq ft, all one level except for maybe a loft area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504310 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:28:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 504310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smaller no, but better use of space Yes! We could do without the dining and living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504259 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:10:08 +0000 Weagle 504259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it if it were in my dream location. It would be a pretty hard transition though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504114 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:09:34 +0000 chopsuey 504114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in a 2100 sq foot one floor apt. Our next place (dream/forever home) is 3000sq feet!<br /> Can't imagine being in a small place with 2 wild kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-move-to-a-smaller-place#post-504068 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:56:09 +0000 mediagirl 504068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, why would you consider moving to a smaller house/condo/apartment? </p>
