Yup, just did this. Got an extra master suite, and 1.75 more bathrooms with much bigger yard and garage for $1100 less. And neighbors that actually talk to you. Not to mention half the price for gas and food. Oh, and the swings aren't chained up. Good-bye LA, I will not miss you one bit.

>And neighbors that actually talk to you.

It's things like this that keep me living in the big city. I can have a mental break, run around naked for 8 hours and be back to normal with no one ever realizing anything happened.

[bobwall]

Haha. Pre-kids I was right there with you.

I did the same thing, I traded a third of an acre in Los Angeles for over a hundred acres in Washington State.

Me too; two weeks ago I traded a small house in Cap Hill, Seattle for a lot more space and friendly neighbors in more rural Washington about 20 minutes from the city. Loving it!
