I have already mentioned in many of my discussions that the house our family lives in is an old one and does not have sufficient space for our family consisting of seven members.On the other hand,all my friends,some of them with bigger families than ours,have beautiful,spacious houses.
Still there is one thing that I have,and my friends don't.It's the wonderful location of my house.
I am grateful to my grandpa for getting our house built at a site which is neither in,nor out of the town.It's a very calm,peaceful area where we have almost everything- grocery,fresh vegetables,restaurants,books,cloths,medicines,gas cylinders, computers,a primary school,post office,police station,temples- available just a stone's throw away.Even the railway station is in the vicinity.You can reach there walking in less than 10 minutes.By bike or car it would take you about two minutes if there is no heavy traffic on the road.
It's the safest area of the town.Incidents of theft never occur in our area.We have a very peaceful neighbourhood.
Whenever my friends tell me about the inconveniences they have to face in their areas and the congested surroundings of their houses,I can't help thanking my grandpa for having our small,old house built at this wonderful location.

you have to take the good with the bad, I think I'd rather be crowded, you can just not be home and be safe, enjoy the space there!

@Jessicalynnt Of course,I keep consulting the engineer.I have already told him what I actually want to have in the new house.I would have a separate room for my studies probably and hopefully by the first half of the next year.

@else34 could get creative with using space, and storage and such, and of course that lap top I think you said you were working on, to use the net elsewhere.

Yes, location matters.
You can rebuild the house if you do not like the old house, but no way you can make a lousy location great.
if the location is far away from the grocery or school, then no matter how nice the house is, you will suffer every time you go to buy things, go to school or work.
