Option 1. Stay living in a small(ish) flat with no garden, on a main road BUT within an area we love and adore beyond belief. We are so grateful to be here. We have amazing schools on our doorstep, high-street is a 5 min walk away. Nearby towns are stunning. Parks all around us too. I just really do miss having a garden and…. Space in general!
Option 2. Move into an absolutely beautiful, newly renovated house with garden (which our kids would LOVE) but in an area we dislike. It’s about 30-45 mins (depending on traffic) away from here. No where to really walk to, schools don’t have a great rep and no town/high street. However the house is just beautiful, the house could offer my children such happiness. A garden, more space to play, their own rooms for when they get older etc.
I am so torn - leaning more towards staying in the flat but I do really miss certain things about having a house (especially a garden when it is nice weather). We cannot currently do many fun things in our flat.
What really is more important, location or the property?
