I want it, I want it, I want it!!

Oooooh, today's new construction building in the same neighborhood as yesterday's cool but sub-optimal unit (from now on, let's call this the university neighborhood) is really really cool! Also not perfect (but what will be). Of the three units one is too small for us. (But would have been really nice in the pre-Small Boy days.) That leaves two. Both have lift access, though the one on the south end of the building has a smaller, older lift that will once again require some form of contortionism or much Small Boy carrying. The unit on the north end of the building has a new, spacious lift. The kitchen/dining/main living room layout of the southern unit is better than the kitchen/dining/main living layout of the northern unit, but the bedrooms/office of the northern unit are better than the bedrooms/office in the southern unit. The northern unit has a utility closet, the southern none. Are you following all this?? Yeah, me neither.

The buiding will have its own play area for kids in the back, and common green space so even though we lost out on the garden units we would have some outdoor options in addition to our private terrace. And each unit has washer and dryer in the unit (hello, that's what I'm talking about) and parking in the garage (for an extra fee, of course, this is Switzerland - but remarkably reasonable monthly fees for a parking place). And it's really quite quiet for that it's so close to a busy street with bus routes.

Me like.
