We live on a bush clad section of around 1600 sqm in West Auckland. I like not having neighbours on 3 sides, but it does take quite a lot of maintenance.
I'm always unblocking drains, trimming back trees, picking up leaves off the drive and lawns etc. And maintaining a sloping section takes much more work than a flat one - something I didn't realise until we bought here. I love the place so we wont' be leaving in a hurry but I do think that later on when our kids are grown up a nice apartment right in town would be really cool. Being able to walk to the dairy even, would be great. And catching up with friends etc. would be so much easier.
With an apartment, all you'd have to do is a bit of vacuuming, cleaning toilets/bathrooms. Could all be done in a couple of hours a week I imagine.
