Home schoolers as well. And include pictures of indoor and outdoor play areas. 
If you haven’t built or stocked the inside areas do it now. Promises are not 
persuasive.

A major reason one of our large households moved was for a backyard. A secure 
space that is only accessible from inside the house where children could play 
without fear of wandering off or intruders or stray dogs. With 4 children and 
planning more, it was essential.

But large units are not only purchased by households with children. Another 
person was not able to move in because she needed the 2-car garage for her 
life-sized political puppet-making business.
