I’ve lived in walk-ups my whole life. Currently 50 and in a 4th floor walk up. I’m fixing to buy an HDFC apartment–also a walk-up, 4 flights, as it is really the only way I can imagine being able to afford to continue to live here when I am older and my income goes down. I’m super active and in great shape, but friends are trying to talk me out of it because of the stairs. Am I being short-sighted? Foolish? Would LOVE to hear from old folks who have managed stairs their whole lives, since honestly I am thinking I will probably stay in the apartment in perpetuity.
