What We Are Looking for
Children
I need a home suitable for young kids
Smoking
I prefer smoking not allowed in the home
Car
I would like a car if possible
Comments: Our kids are 8 & 12 (not "young" but I marked just to be clear that there are kids); our allergens are dust and we have meds for this but overly dusty environments could pose an issue. Car depends on the neighborhood's walkability.
