Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

It is so difficult to even make the decision. We have been here nearly 40 years, only a few original neighbors left, but the same thing that drew us then is still here, but more so. The surroundings are lovely through the seasons and convenient. But the house and gardens are for someone younger, with stairs everywhere, and lots of outdoor tasks.

When we came home from our tiny house in the Spring, I was really ready for less - space, yard, work, stuff...
So we have begun to clear away, bit by bit - just seeing more cleared out space makes me rest easier. And each time we clear an area, it makes us look for the next one to do...
We put out the word that we are looking for the ideal property, but aren't in any hurry. I realize now that I need a small plot of land to have a few plants and a place to relax, so we know we need a townhome.
I have begun to locate people to help with tasks we no longer can or wish to do. Fortunately, the paid for house means we have a little to spend for those services.

If you have a patio or balcony, you can still have plants. Good luck in finding a townhouse that you love.
