Big house or little house?

So we are in the process of buying a house. There is a very small home in a really good area and it has great schools. It also has a small yard. We have two kids and are done. There is another house i like its bigger and had a bigger yard the areas okay but the schools are definitely not as good as the other area. What do you find more important?

Smaller house= less house to clean.

I'd go with the smaller house in the better school district. School is much more important to me than house size.

I would keep looking, until you found the perfect fit. Don't settle.

You'll regret not going for the better school system.

yep..keep looking in the better school district. remember, you can always offer less on a house..the most they can do is turn your offer down.

^^ lol true i thought that as well. Id like a four bedroom or a 3 bdr with a basment. The best i could find in the nicer location was a 3 with no basement and its at the top of our price which scares me lol. I have my nieces and nephews alor and more space the better lol
