Our house is sold subject to contract and we have just had an offer accepted on a house in small town about a 15-20 minute drive away from the city centre we currently live a 5 minute walk away from.
We wanted to move for better schools, to be nearer the countryside and away from the very occasional but very annoying incidents that we have had such as tyres being slashed, people shouting and swearing in the street etc. There have been a few shootings near us but we have absolutely loved living here. In many ways it is very family friendly - there are at least 10 great parks within a 10 minute drive/bus ride and these were all redesigned a couple of years ago. Loads of free family festivals/events on all year round etc.
I don't know - we loved living in a mixed, vibrant (if a little dodgy!) area and now we may be about to leave it all behind. Will we regret it? Are we selling out? Will we start reading the daily fail?
Can anyone who has done similar reassure me - I am having a wobble!

AIBU?
To be scared of moving out of the city now that it looks like it is actually going to happen?
