This is the place where I've lived nearly my whole life. My parents bought the place in 1999 as they were concerned about raising two children. The neighborhood was rather boring as a child since I didn't have any friends who lived near me. I went to school in Manhattan, left the house early to go to school and came home late. I didn't make any close friends in the neighborhood. I was friends for a short while with the girl who lived across the street from me, but I haven't seen her in a couple of years. 

My parents like this place, as do I, as it is located within walking distance of the subway and bus. However, with my parents getting older, they've been talking about moving to a single family home further in Queens. The thought of moving would have made me excited two years ago, but now I am hesitant as so much history is in this one building.
