I'm about to start hunting for a place to rent in London for me and my brood (Me, dh and three kids under 5),
Up to now we've always rented in blocks of flats, because of the perceived extra security (lots of doors between us and the street, and often you get porterage/underground parking/CCTV).
It's a rough-ish area - although I've never had any trouble and have made some lovely friends.
I can get a 3 bed house for the same money as a 2 bed flat in the developments which have porters/gyms/garages, or the same money as a 3 bed flat in a more basic block.
Does a garden and a bit of extra space outweigh the benefits of extra security and being part of a development?
