Hellobee Boards

I don't love our rented townhouse but I loooove our neighborhood. We're just outside Boston city limits, close shopping, parks, public transportation, a mile from my job... so many things to see and do.

We owned a home in NY that we sold last year and were looking to purchase a home when we found out we were expecting. So we put those plans on hold until after baby arrives. Hoping we can find something in this neighborhood.

Not at all!
I used to love living where I used to live before I got married. :T
I moved to another state to be with my DH and also moved into the condo he purchased before we met.
Excited for our next place.

We love our neighborhood and the city but both of us are getting really tired of the weather. The rain is getting old.

Sadly, no.

DH and I used to live in an awesome neighbourhood in Brisbane and we LOVED it! We were in an apt so it wasn't exactly where we wanted to raise a child but we had our sights set on a house in a different neighbourhood just across the river once we got pregnant.

Then, we had a few events occur that changed things for us.

To start, his parents, who had only lived about 45 minutes from us, decided to move back to England. My family is all in the States, so we are now completely isolated here, although we did have a great friend network in Brisbane, along with DH's brother.

Secondly, DH's work situation changed and we ended up having to move to a town 6 hours north of Brisbane where we know absolutely no one. It's an industrial town with absolutely nothing to do and no sort of community whatsoever as most of the workers fly in/fly out. Of course we also found out two weeks before we had to move that we were expecting our first child, so it just makes it that much more difficult going through pregnancy completely alone whilst DH works 70+ hr weeks.

And that's the end of my whinging - sorry! We're going to stick it out for another year and then we'll be looking at moving either to the US to be near my family or to the UK to be near his family. Knowing there's an end in sight makes it tolerable but it's still not very much fun right now.

I love our location--it's a fabulous area of NYC with tons of cute shops and restaurants, we're right by two parks, and we're near a ton of transportation options. However, our current apt is a 4th floor walkup (boo!) and while it's big (for NYC standards) the layout is really annoying. Our lease is up in March and I'm ready to move!

I love living in Utah, I have so many friends that say they hate it though. It is super conservative and super mormon, but I am conservative and mormon so maybe that is why I love it? I specifically love the city I live in, I am within walking distance of 3 grocery stores, 2 dollar stores, 2 thrift stores, Jamba, the craft store, and so much more.

I love our house but I do not love where we live It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, compared to what I was used to before we moved here anyways. My DH agrees that we don't want to stay forever, hopefully in 3-5 years we will get outta dodge Right now though, I can't really complain, it's a nice community, DH has a great job (with transfer potential! whoop!) and I really liked having DD here.

yes and no! i love, love my city. it's a nice mix of country/city. it's probably the textbook definition of "suburbia" but it's where i grew up, so i love it. all of our family is here, and it feels like home. right after getting married the dude and i moved about three hours away, but didn't even last a whole year. we moved back as soon as we had the option! that being said, since moving back, we've been living with my parents trying to save up some money. that is not fun! we're moving out at the beginning of year, and i CANNOT WAIT!

@photojane: Both of us have lived in the city for almost a decade. Chicago city living is awesome. Our street alone has a strong Hispanic influence as well as yuppie which we are admittedly. I would miss the tacqueria up the street or walking to get my hair cut or the new yoga studio. The suburbs scare me with the cookie cutter-ness of them and how quiet they can be.

Yes, I think that to myself every single day. I really love where we live. Our neighborhood is so family-friendly, safe, quiet, and convenient. Pretty much all my daily outings are within walking distance, including DD's preschool, favorite playgrounds, groceries... Starbucks If the weather is bad, we have a playroom downstairs with lots of neighbor playmates/friends....

Our apt is great, but we are running out of space now that Baby 2.0 is here and 5 months old... We do plan to relocate across the country next year and that does make me sad, but I'm happy we lived here for the time that we did and I look forward to being closer to my family and finding another neighborhood and place to love also!

NOPE! We love our apartment but need to move out because of our awful neighbors. It sucks.

We love our neighborhood and love our place. We currently rent but when we decide to buy we know that we want to stay nearby.

Not really. We love our house and if we could pick it up and move it to a different town, we would. It's not the town that bugs us but the schools. That was just poor planning on our part. We bought 4 years ago when we weren't sure we would have kids. Now we are having one and we're looking at the schools and are worried. I'll be sad someday (to say goodbye to our home) when we do move (probably before our LO gets to HS).

YES! The home we bought is much more than we dreamed of having. Really lucked out. Great Neighborhood. Nice and quiet country setting and our own little chunk of land with a beautiful view of the water.

I hate where we live right now! I cannot wait till we can move!
