A small house with small yard in the deep suburbs. Long commutes, cookie cutter homes. Ok for a young, small family. Not as feasible for an older, larger family. If that's what you can afford, you make due but it's not your dream scenario. Use the same points for a condo.

I know people like to use this phrase to look down on us suburbanites, but aren't all homes cookie cutter? Inner city homes are pretty 60's to 80's style cookie cutter. Condos downtown are about as cookie cutter condos as they come. What makes your home so special compared to others? Unless you have yours custom built with a bat cave, I don't see yours being all that unique either.
