Where do you live?
 

I mean, what's your living situation? House? Apartment? Alone? Roommate? S/O? Pets? City? Burbs?

I live in a 3 bedroom cape cod style house with hubby, 2 cats & dog in the burbs. Typical post-WWII house, around 1000 sq. feet. We bought it about 4&1/2 years ago & will be putting an addition on in a few weeks to add a second full bath & make my bedroom bigger w/ a walk-in closet. :blob2:

We have a decent size yard & a 2 car garage. If we ever move, I will never go without a garage. Ever. Not having to clean the car off every morning is wonderful.

How about you? :wavey:

We have a ten room, 2 & 1/2 bath raised ranch. Four bedrooms. Two kitchens. 3 living rooms. 2 Car garage. It's grey with blue shutters :eek: I live with my sister, parents, and dog. We have neighbors that are all older than 50 and never leave their homes except to work. And we live in Milford, CT. It's a small city, about 15-20 minutes away from New Haven or Bridgeport, depending on which way you are going. :nod: :wavey:

Me
 

Currently I'm in a three- bedroom apartment in the burbs. Although, my BF and I are going to be moving to a new house in April. He's in England now selling and/or packing his stuff.

I can't wait. It's a fairly nice size at 2500 sq. feet ( two stories, 4 bedrooms & a 'loft'). The yard isn't very big though, but that can be said for most new houses in Vegas. We have watering restrictions due to the 20- something year drought, and even if you do have a big yard it has to be rocks. It does have a pool though, albiet a small one.

Oh, and I don't have any pets. My mother never let me have them growing up, and my BF will freak if animal hair gets on anything. :o Maybe I'll get a fish. But then again, I'm allergic to seafood and have kinda hated even looking at fish my whole life. :D

I live in a house/apartment. It was once a house - and is now two apartments - one upstairs and one downtsairs. I have the downstairs. It's pretty big for me - one bedroom - it's very cute...

I also have the basement which has the washer and dryer - and I have free reign over the back yard and deck (very nice wood deck in the back) - the yard is fenced so it's nice to be able to let Clancy (dog) out to do her stuff and not always have to go with her.

So I lived by myself until recently when I adopted Clancy - my dog - and now she shares the place with me -but is a great roomate...except for the excessive drooling and gas - but from roomate stories I've heard before it doesn't sound like I could do much better with a human ;)

I live in a very small midwest town with my husband and son. Right along the Missouri River. Good area for hunting artifacts. It's a farming community, corn & soybeans. We have several orchards, apples & peaches.

My home is a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath ranch style home. We just had a new front porch added a few years ago.

We have 2 bird dogs, Sam & Pat. 1 cat.......and a salamander.

I was born and raised a "Country Bumpkin"...... :p

I don't think you're weird at all. :wavey: I grew up in a ranch & my one criteria when we were looking for our house was that it was an "up & downy house." No split levels or raised ranches for me, though. I don't want to have to climb or go down stairs just to get into the house.

I live in St. Louis city. 2 bedroom one bathroom house with a finished basement. It's just me and my 3 year old, so it's the perfect size. The yard is decent, and I don't have a garage but I do have a carport in the back. :p Better than nothing I guess!

O when I am not in ym summer hom in Malibu, Or one of my many condos in Mexico.. :rolleyes:

I live in a quiet burb of Wichita 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath 2 livng rooms basement (for all those kansas tornadoes!). I have a dog! 2 cats!

I live near Chicago in a four bedroom three bathroom with a basement and a two and a half car garage. Does the basement count as a third story?? I never understood that... Well the only pets we have is a rabbit. Yup, boring house. :)

I live in the 'burbs on the west side of Indy in a 2200 sq. ft. 2 story with 3 bed, a playroom, and 2 1/2 bath (it's a bitch to clean by myself). It's just my daughter and I, the dog, and 6 fish. I have a 2 car garage, but I can barley fit 1 car in it because of all my **** that I need to get rid of! I have a kinda small yard... 1/3 acre? but that's OK because I have to mow and fertilize it. Damn, I need a maid and a lawnboy..... :lol:

1/3 of an acre is small, huh? My lot is 40 feet by 120 feet! :laugh: Big enough for us , though.

I forgot that lots of people don't have basements! We do, half is finished into a bar/family room with a gas fireplace. Comes in mighty handy in the winter. :nod: The other half is just laundry & storage.

Cripes, am I the only apartment dweller? :laugh:

I live in an apartment with one bathroom, two bedrooms, a living room, a little kitchen, and a big office. I like it better than living in a house, I feel safer for some strange reason. I have a dog, lovely furniture that I just recently reupholstered myself, and lots of windows. :laugh:

I know, us crazy people and our "houses" :rolleyes: :p

So do you live in Boston itself or right outside? I would think living right in the city would cost a small fortune....

I live on my own in a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, two storey house.. Got a new kitchen in here and got it furnished pretty well now, it's not a massive place but it does get a little quiet at times, not exactly cheap to keep though, maybe I need a couple of Ledgie lodgers! :laugh:

Right outside. No way in hell would I live directly in the city without a roommate. And I don't do roommates, so... :laugh:

I live in a one bedroom apartment. It's one of those big old houses that was turned into way to many apartments. My stupid "kitchen" just starts at the edge of my frontroom, I hate that. But my bathroom is strangely giant, I love that. It's very long, a long hallway bathroom. I have a ton of windows, which seems neat, but really isn't that neat...in the morning, the sun shines directly into my eyes from the window across from my bed. :laugh: The big house is right on a main street, but i am lucky, cause my apartment is around back and up the stairs - I am the only one that faces the tree filled hills, and I'm the only one with a tiny courtyard (with a giant tree in it), and, you have to go through two gates to get to my apartment, so people don't know it's there as much - everyone else's is basically visible from the street/sidewalk.
It's okay, kinda cute. I really, really, really, really need new carpet, though.
I am right on the Oakland/Berkely line, but it's a cute neighborhood, not too crowded, lot's of family houses and nice trees and stuff.

Surely it would depend on the roommate?? :p :laugh:

We live in a typical Canadian house, it's small, but cozy, we call it home.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's what I feel like I'm living in after all this snow. :lol:

So then what's with the other bedroom? :shrug:

I live in a 4-bedroom 2-story house on a full basement (gotta watch out for those damn tornados here, too!). We have a 2-car garage too, which I LOVE! Our house is on 4 acres of land, which is great for me, since I have LOTS of room to plant flowers, but not so great for my husband who loathes yard work. But, hey, he's the one who grew up out here in farm county, and he's the one who chose to remain out here so....land, grass, etc. comes with the territory, bucko! :rolleyes: We have 2 dogs and 4 cats, and since we're so spread out, they've got plenty of room to roam.

I love it here, really. It's very peaceful, and if I can just keep WallyWorld from backing a new SUPERCENTER up to my back door, it'll stay that way! Sheesh, those things are everywhere!!!!

I think I am the only one that lives in a trailer.......all by me-self. It's a two bedroom, one bathroom/laundry room, and the living room, den, kitchen, foyer, hallway, dining room is all one room. Gawd, I'm lucky. :rolleyes:

$985 a month is what. Rent controlled. Who am I to kick it out of bed? :laugh:

We live in a 2 bed rabbit hutch with a fish called Jim and a frog called Neville. :)

I used to be P.W.T.T. (pretty white trailer trash). When I first got married we lived in a mobile home for about 4 years before we moved into our house :thumbsup:

:lol: Naturally. :lol:

I live in a 2 story, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2500 sq ft house, on 5 acres(mow 4, 1 acre of woods). Last spring, I added 650 sq ft onto my living and family rooms(on top of each other). Living room is big(26x25) with four skylights and gas fireplace. Family room is 35x25, with pool table, big screen, gas fireplace, and an oak bar that I built this winter. Detached 2 car garage, small horse barn(no horses though), and a pool.

Right, I have a fabulous roommate, but even she gets on my nerves sometimes. :rolleyes: However, compared to my last roommate (the SWF :eek: ) she's a complete :angel:.

We live in a 2 bedroom apartment in the city where the rent is under market because my roommate has been there for 6 1/2 years and the landlord has never raised the rent on her. It's a nice place. My room is too small and so is the living room. The LR is perfect for 2 people but we can't have guests over to watch TV or anything since we only have room for 3 seats in there. However, we have a strangely gigantic kitchen! Especially for my part of town, nothing is big here unless you are dishing out $2500 or so. So for what we pay, it's a palace. I really love the location. I just have to figure out how to live in that tiny room without making myself so crazy. It's only tiny cuz I've got a desk and a vanity in there. But there's nowhere else to put it. Diss, I wish I had an office, lucky!

Oh yeah, we have a water view (limited in living room and my room, my roommate really has the view from her bedroom, beyotch) and roof access. People who visit us love it and think we are living like princesses. I guess we sort of are. Except city life can be rough, you always park a block or 3 away. You have to lug everything up 3 flights. It is effin' loud with the drunks and the sirens. I don't feel as safe as in the 'burbs.

But I get to walk everywhere! Including home fom the clubs so i never have to worry about driving after drinking. Then again, I sort of have to walk everywhere. I can't just pull up with the car and grab groceries and park in my garage and complain about lugging them a few feet. :laugh: That's what Peapod is for!

Oh yeah, we have a tiny bathroom which is fine. Someday I will move back to the burbs but I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to live here! :blob1:

Gorgeous. :nod:

That movie is the sole reason I will never have a roommate. :laugh: Scared the living **** out of me, I tell you!

Sounds nice. :D You're right about parking, jeezum crow. I loathe it. But I usually just park under the Prudential Tower and take the T everywhere. I want to buy one of those motorized scooters, though. :laugh:

My office is bigger than my bedroom, so I naturally live in it 24/7. I put in a new carpet a couple months ago in it and at night I will literally crawl down onto the floor and lay there. I? Am weird.

And this is news? :laugh: Mmm, new carpet. We need that for our entryway. K's last roommate was also a SWF and picked this salmon carpet for the entryway. WTF?? High traffic area, in the city, and she picks salmon? Barf.

Sesly, my last roommate copied my clothes, my food choices, everything. :distress: She was so bizarre. :shudder:

Edit: Oh yeah, and cool about the scooter. I would love one but am too clumsy and would effin kill myself!

Thanks! :nod: I used to live well within my means. Unfortunately, that ain't the case anymore. :rolleyes: My income fluctuates quite a bit. The lean months are, well, lean.....especially with doggie radiation and chemo bills now.
But, eight years and eight months from now, it's all paid for! :] :] :]

Dude, that's pretty sweet! I dream of owning my own home, literally. Good for you. How is your doggie doing?

LMMFAO!!!!!! :lol: :laugh: :lol: :laugh:

I can't wait to be making $30/hr plus $36/hour for per diem work so I can have nice living arrangements......Come on graduation! :blob2:

We finished radiation a week ago. Thank god! That 6 hour (roundtrip) drive was killing me. Now, he's just doing a chemo treatment every three weeks, with my vet down the road. He's acting fine though. Lord, that dog loves to play. Before he was sick, I'd only play for 30-45 minutes, then MAKE him lie on the couch with me. Now, I play for the duration he wants to.....sometimes an hour or two, throwing a leather chew across the family room, for what seems like hundreds of times....
Hopefully he'll be lucky with beating this. If not, I at least hope I'm buying him some more quality time. He's my best buddy. :xoxo: :angel:

I may be the only real estate broker in the world who still rents an apartment! We hate our neighbors and try to get them to leave, but the apartment complex won't kick them out. We only pay $580 a month, and that's with an extra $15 fee for month-to-month. It is 840 sq. ft., 2 bed/1 bath, where I live with my BF of 3 years, and 2 cats, and is in an area a little west of Portland, even tho my address says Portland.

I want to buy a house with cash (no loan!) so I'm saving up. If anyone needs a broker referral please let me know. (Shameless business plug) I can connect you with a qualified real estate agent in your area (for you or anyone you know) and make a little money off of it.

Every little bit helps, and much of my business is referrals! I do want a large home, 2000+ sq. ft. because I got a lot of memorabilia from you-know-who. :woohoo: Please help your fellow Ledgie get out of her apartment. :laugh:
