How do you feel about your house/apartment/condo whatever?

[wambam]

I love it. The only way we'll move is if we're suddenly rich and could afford a new construction.

[papie]

I love it, but we are outgrowing it, at least in its current state, so we need to either move or reorganize the space (major reno).  

[knx9211]

I love it, but it's definitely not our dream home. I doubt we'll ever live in our dream home, though.

[ginger]

I like it fine. It's 1700 SF so not tiny by any means, but I want a bigger bathroom and kitchen next time around. We'll pay this one off first though. Even if we don't pay any extra, we'll have it paid off in 12 years. I'm okay with that.

[meowmaps]

I like it a lot but I don't love my neighbors/neighborhood. I look forward to branching out in a few years.

[Jalapeñomel]

I hate it, and I'm ready to buy or find some place larger.

[rosiebear]

I love my house. It's small and cozy and in the perfect neighborhood for us. Plus, only good things have happened in this house (h bought the house about a year before we started dating): it's where h and I fell in love, moved in with the children, and it's been the home base for all our adventures.

I love it. My dream home(s) is a villa in Italy, an apartment overlooking central park, and a house in Maui. Something tells me I'm never going to live in my dream homes.

[flex]

I absolutely love my place, but lately the heating system has been making this weird vibration that I can hear at night and I'm not sleeping well. (I have freakishly sharp hearing.) The house is old and the walls are so very thin. Oh well when summer gets here, the hum won't be an issue.

[TR]

I put Meh, but sometime it's I Like it Fine. It's just a little transitional 2 bedroom apt, it's not meant to be my forever home. However, unless I start cohabitating with someone I won't be able to afford to buy or rent anything much better any time soon, lol. So I'd have to give up location if I want something newer sooner than 2 years from now. But it's not bad. It has pretty much everything I need. If I could chuck my loudass neighbor it would be much improved. I Shazam'd two songs through the wall the other night.

[Bernadine]

There are one or two changes I'd like to make, but overall, I love it. It's nice and homey and just the right size. I wouldn't mind if the kitchen was a tad bigger.

[Lucy Honeychurch]

I love it. it's cozy and it was inexpensive and it's been perfect for us. We're going to need a bit more space in the next few years, but I'll be sad to leave this house. It's awesome.

[bex1973]

I like it overall but there are parts I don't love. For example the weird powder blue toilet & bathtub in the "main" bathroom and the fact that our kitchen cabinets are kinda falling apart.

We're at the stage of trying to determine if we'll live here long enough to get our money out of renovating the kitchen.

[pandora89]

I hate where we live now.

I am sure I will love where we are moving to. Love the area, the community and proximity to work. It's small (835sq/ft), but we aren't renting anymore and it's where we want to be. It's not our dream home, hopefully we will be there within 5 years.

[bcv513]

I love it. I think we may eventually outgrow it though

[amandakisser]

I love it. My H and I stumbled upon it just when we were getting frustrated with our house search. It was a steal, it's roomy with tons of land, awesome neighborhood, and the only updates we want to make are cosmetic. Unless we hit the lottery or I need to move for my job, we intend to live here well into retirement. It's our forever home.

[Deleted]

I say meh. I'd happily move if I could find something better that doesn't cost a ton more, but I like it well enough to stay put if nothing else comes along. I like the location and that it's a SFH, but it's tiny and really outdated, doesn't have a dishwasher or garage, the storage sucks, the layout isn't great, etc. Thankfully it's just a rental so in theory we COULD move if we found something else that worked.

We do have some sentimentality toward it, though. It was my first home after my divorce, that I got to do whatever I wanted with. When BF and I started dating, we hung out at my place a lot and it's where we fell in love Then he eventually moved in and we've had a ton of great times since. So I can't actively dislike it, even as I'm doing the millionth load of dishes for the week by hand.

[intentionalsnarkshark]

Meh. It works for now. It's so not my style, and I really miss living in Seattle/someplace that's super walkable.

[janegold]

I love it for a city condo, but I personally would like a house someday. H would be happy to stay forever; he wants to buy our neighbor's place so we can eventually combine them when we need more space. I don't think I'm very enthusiastic about that plan.

[mrssandro]

It's not my dream home. It was new construction when we bought it. It serves it's purposes but it already needs improvements. If I had the money to invest into for like solar panels, new ac system, new appliances, get a hot tub and paint it has potential to be the love of my life.

This.

I... don't like it. It's okay for the time being, but we're hoping to sell it in a few years. The plus is that we don't have a mortgage.

[nahoku]

Cannot wait to get out.

[shell403b]

I love it--the size, the location, the layout. I don't love all of the brown/beige/tan blah-ness of it. I wish it was more modern in its finishes.

I guess I need to stop watching HGTV.

[kevin arnold]

Where I am right now is exceedingly meh, but it is temporary so I'm fine with it.

[cinco]

I love it, but mostly for the yard and layout. We have a little work to do decorating, but we don't have the money or care enough right now. One day our house will look like adults live here.

[ssmjlm]

We're building our dream home (within budget). I cannot wait. It has everything our old house didn't. It's not a huge house, but it's perfect for us and as E grows up.

@tambcat I felt that way about our old house. I never "loved" it no matter how much time and energy we put into renovating it. I just sort of tolerated it.

[waffletime]

In an apartment, it's significantly nicer and bigger than our last one; if not for the tiny bathroom with no storage it'd be great.

[Aquatica]

Can't wait to move, hope H is sent somewhere else soon (and I'll be hoping for a 1 story).

Edit: We rent because H's job moves us frequently. I'm happy to be in a town house instead of an apartment space-wise but it's been a hassle. Had water in my basement for 3 months while housing was trying to find out where the water/leak was coming from, one neighbor's dog howls constantly which we've had to complain about since March but thankfully housing is being more aggressive with the neighbor (it was bad when H was on night shift and the poor thing started howling at 6am...not blaming the dog, just the owners for knowing there is an issue this long and letting the poor thing howl until it's raspy), and last the other neighbors slam their doors and fight outside enough I was concerned to call the police because of it sounding almost domestic violence-y.

I'd like to move but the benefits out weigh the cost/hassle of moving (price, covered parking, not have to deal with cleaning fees, and we're trying to save money for a grandma trip to show off the baby)

[tootsie]

I love it. We have renovations planned for the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, and when that is complete I will love it even more.

[RandZB]

I hate the neighbors, hate the layout, and have four kids that have to share the two other bedrooms. We've been in this house for 10 years, and I can't wait to get out.
