Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI've lived here in my apartment now, for 20 years.
I moved here on February 1rst, 1992.
My apartment is two large rooms, (bedroom and kitchen) and three smaller rooms. (Hot water heater room with a little storage, washroom and bathroom.)
I like it here, and plan to stay here for another 20 years.

(38,613 posts)I just started my 3rd year in a place that I love It's a studio: one room, one kitchen, one bath, and a small balcony. But it is a great interior, it's soundproof, conveniently-located to many things, and has a wonderful view. I have no intention of leaving as long as I can afford it

We grew up in Buffalo and ended up here with my husband's job. Right now I have 3 kids out of school working in Buffalo, two more at school in Buffalo, one in school in Syracuse. It's be ironic if all six kids end up in Buffalo! Here's hoping for a better, faster rail connection!

(426 posts)I raised my three kids here, my eldest daughter died here. I've watched a couple of boyfriends come and go. The property has been in my family since 1952. I'll probably die here as well. It's quiet and peaceful in this area....just me and the cat now. I'm at the age where he's better company than the ex's!

(115,661 posts)Finally got it paid off; gonna do some more fixing up and live here until I'm too old and decrepit to climb the stairs, or until I drop over dead and the cats eat me, whichever occurs first.

(28,394 posts)but we have been in this house for 26 years now. I have collected so much "stuff" that I doubt I could move again. So I'll just stay here!
