WHERE WE LIVE
Get a sense of where we live, and what life would be like in our neighborhood for a child.
Brooklyn Heights
We live in Brooklyn in a neighborhood called Brooklyn Heights. It’s a great neighborhood to raise kids in - there are playgrounds everywhere, good schools, and lots of parks. We’re probably the minority not already having kids living here - everywhere you look are families enjoying the parks, picnicking, playing sports, walking to and from school.
We live in an old house that’s been split up into a few apartments, and we’re close with our neighbors downstairs who have two kids. We have a second bedroom that's waiting to be filled, Our landlord also raised her daughter here and still lives in the building.
Fire Island
We also have a small beach house on Fire Island, and spend our summers living there, working from home. Fire island is about 2 hours outside of the city off of Long Island, and is a beautiful beach that James’s family went to growing up. Just a 20 minute ferry ride away, James's family pops over for beach days and BBQs, and Keith's family comes from NJ to stays the weekend with us.
If we were to become parents, we’d love to create lifelong memories with our kids at the beach swimming, surfing, cooking meals, and playing beach volleyball. We have friends out there with adopted kids that we hangout with now, and between them and our having our families visit, there are lots of other kids around. We hope to create a beautiful, joyful summer life for our kids to grow up, where they can connect with the ocean and nature.
