We had been renting a 1318ft2 three bedroom unit in a 4-plex for the last five years. We were already bursting at the seams of our home before the arrival of our newest member, with the babies’ arrival it became just plain stressful. With the Nursery in our living room sleep training was impossible. The windows were single pane making it stifling in the summers and FREEZING in the winter. We shared laundry with three other families, leaving Sundays as our designated laundry day. For a family of five none of this was ideal.
