Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Lisa Williams of Oak Park, administrative assistant
I’d like a four-bedroom house when I have kids. But after the kids leave, I’d downsize to a smaller place.
Richard Cowen of Des Plaines, retired policeman
I had a house but after the kids grew up I sold it and got a trailer. I just have two bedrooms, but it’s plenty of room for me.
Lillian Martinez of Norridge, business owner
My kids are grown but I haven’t downsized. I like having the room for my grandkids to visit.
Kevin Van Der Pluym of Arlington Heights
I have a trailer now, but I’d like to have a ranch house. I’d keep it as long as I could. I wouldn’t mind the maintenance, like mowing the lawn. In fact, I’d like it.
