Moving house compromises

We've agreed a sale on our house and are trying to find somewhere to move to. We're pretty central in terms of the city, so although we'd ideally like 4 beds and garden, basically there's nothing available in this area.

So, imagine you have 3 children, 12 year old twins, 9 year old - all boys - twins currently sharing. Small yard but a park over the road, secondary and primary schools within easy walking distance as is work and shopping, although work not a problem as mainly WFH.

What would you compromise on?

3 beds plus garden?
4 beds no garden?
Move out of the area so kids either have to move schools or get a 45 minute bus ride?

Husband and I disagree on a house we have viewed (I'll share after a few responses so as not to sway results!). It's only been 2 weeks (tomorrow!) since our house even went on the market, but things are moving FAST in this area.

So. What would you do?

It is sounding the perfect layout, I have older teens and I get tempted to move out overnight 😂

If anyone is interested - had an offer accepted on the aforementioned 3 bed Grin

Fingers crossed it alls goes though quickly!

Wow, fantastic news. I hope you'll be as happy there as I am in my "would never have bought on paper" house.

I would choose 4 bed no garden - go to the park.
