Townhouse with 8mo, yes or no?
We are planning to move out of our current apartment when my baby is almost 8mo, we have two options: a 2 bedroom 1bath apartment, or a 2bedroom townhouse with 1.5 bath.
The townhome offer bigger rooms and living area, but the other apartment is 100$ cheaper + comes with fully covered utilities (almost 200$ per month) and is a little bit closer to where we work and is in a nicer neighborhood with a lake in 5 min walking distance for afternoon/evening walks. The downside is that it is pretty much smaller than the townhome.
Which one would be a better option for my family? Is it going to be lots of going ups and downs the stairs? Or just for naps?
How much bigger space matters at this stage?
