"Not around here - my building is full of kids, although I think we have the most (6) in one apartment. "

In our neighborhood we just had 2 different families, each with 5 young children, move into 2 bedroom apartments. The max sq ft for the 2 bedrooms is 1200sqft here. Now, I am assuming they are 2 bedrooms because I know for a fact our building has only 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. But I can't imagine a family of 7 in a 1 bedroom so I'm assuming the apartments are 2 bdrms. Can you imagine sharing 1 small bedroom with 4 siblings? And I don't see how it could be a money issue because there are 3 bdrm apartments around town cheaper than our 2bdrm here.

You don't spend much time in your bedroom when it's full of people. I know families with up to 4 children to a room. And cost isn't the only issue - I'd rather have a smaller place in a nicer complex.

We're in a 3-bedroom, over 1400 sq. The rent (paid by our generous new employer) is more than the payment on our new 4-br house will be! Gotta love those interest rates, down again!
