[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 528121, member: 439"] My dad built our house. It was on 2 acres, and when he built it, it was a rural just becoming residential area (it is now McMansion city). When we were hit by a tornado (yeah, they hit houses, too) in 1974, ours was the only house left to rebuild. There had never, ever been a contractor or maintenance person in the house - dad did it all. After he died, my mom kept the house for one year. It was too much yard (she had a service, but the neighbors kept cutting the grass!). She had no idea who to call for things (I told her, it's a Lennox air conditioner, look up Lennox in the phone book!). She moved into a 2 bedroom apartment 24 years ago and has NEVER regretted her choice. It's worth her peace of mind that if something goes wrong, she leaves a note and when she comes back, it's fixed. Her complex does take animals (there's a sheepdog living downstairs from her) - I don't know what the extra fees are for that. I agree - before you make any long term decisions, rent for a while to see if the lifestyle works for you. [/QUOTE]
