Now you’re a mum, in hindsight what factors were most important in choosing a place to live? Or does it really not matter?
We’re looking at some modest places in Crofton Park, Forest Hill and Sydenham in SE London. As I’m not quite yet a parent, I want to make sure we think about the right things now.
One place is close to a park, but the high street is a bit grotty and is 10 mins further from our friends.
Another is close to a great high street with cafes, libraries, etc, but has a small North-facing garden.
One other place has a big garden, on a quiet street near a school, but tiny bathroom and a 12-15 min walk to shops, cafes, train stations.
All have scope for extension..not that we’ll ever have a penny left ever again!
Of course, we may get none of them. I’m so brain-fogged I can’t decide what our priorities are though.
