Welcome to the club. One warning though, a townhouse is never as big as you think it is. My wife and I bought ours about 2 years ago right after I graduated and right before we got married and it seemed huge at first. We filled it up extremely fast though and it will be rough once we have a kid to stay in the house. We are actually already looking for our next house because the townhouse feels so small now. > [@Boosted Honda clutch slipping \*PICS INSIDE\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/boosted-honda-clutch-slipping-pics-inside/37138/37): > > i use to think that also. but im right next to my two neighbors. for a newer nicer town home i wouldnt mind being attached to someone as long as they are cool. but thats where you roll the dice. im not loud and i rarely every have any parties so i wouldnt be a bad neighbor. The best thing about having a townhouse is that if you are a middle unit, you have walls insulating you on two sides and heating/cooling costs are so low. We have a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath unit with a full living room, dining room, and a half basement w/ 1 car garage and the most we have ever spent on a month of heating bill is $130 and we tend to keep the thermostat at like 70 to 72 degrees. All of the HOA rules do suck though. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bought-my-1st-house/198708)._
