It was not as hard for me because I had moved out of my "forever" home six years before `and lived in 2 other places before I moved here. Honestly, depending on where you go, the houses are spacious. I had 20 people here for a party the other night with little kids running around (I missed my basement at that time!), and there was room to spare. I wish you all the best in finding a suitable place. Some are apartments and I would not like that. I like having a yard to mess with.
