Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Looking to buy an apt in manhattan. found an amazing one that is great in all ways except that it's on the second floor of a high rise. Will this be terrible in terms of resale value and feeling that i'm on street level?

And it isn't just regular traffic noise either. Horns, sirens, loud assholes talking & laughing late on Friday/Saturday nights, etc. Also look for any clubs or bars around that play music.
[ Reply | More ]^^ oh, and one of the worst is in the winter after a snowstorm. If it is a street rather than an avenue that doesn't get plowed as thoroughly and then you get ice, cars will spin and spin and spin their tires right outside your window. I LITERALLY made my dh go out with bags of salt and melt the ice in front of our windows (something I learned from another overtired low floor resident with a db!)
