To wonder if you are happy living where you are now?

[superstarheartbreaker]

And if not, where would you like to move to if you were in a position to do so?

I live in a lovely little market town and it's where I grew up. It's beautiful, surrounded by country, I have great friends here and dd is settled in her school.
However, i miss urban life, the culture, the opportunities, the work scene. , the men.

If I could I'd move to the nearest big city Bristol which I love but I'm a single mum and I fear a move as I have a lot of support here.

Love where we have moved to. Love our house, our garden, our view. Love the school. Love the new friends. Love the pace of life. Love our family work/life balance.

My, I do sound smug

Think I may have grown up in your town Super. It's lovely but I wouldn't go back there we lived in leafy SE London for ten years which was great and now in Hampshire. Hampshire has many pluses but I do really miss London and that's where I would be if I could.

I love my little corner of Kent. It is a little piece of rural heaven between two densely populated and fairly grim towns.

We have wetland habitats, creeks and marshes, a very pebbly beach, woodland and hills to walk the dog on, and, if you are a Dickens fan, a bleak form of celebrity as the spot where Pip first met Magwitch. There is also a 14th-century castle owned by Jools Holland.

My next door neighbours are lovely, and we let one anothers dogs out and get each others washing in.

I wouldn't live anywhere else now until the bastard developers concrete it all over

No, absolutely loathe where we live. It's a grim town. We are moving back home (rural area, other side of the counrty) in a few weeks and I can't bloody wait, it's all I've wanted since we moved here. I didn't realise how much I'd hate living in a big town until we got here, it seemed like the practical thing to do - work reasons - but every day here has felt weeks long and I feel completely claustrophobic. I can't wait to be in the countryside where I can just take the children out and let them run around.

Absolutely love the village I live in, so much so that I'm in the process of buying a house here, having rented for several years. When I first moved here, I wasn't sure, as I was an "outsider" but people have accepted me, especially now I work in the village too. It's big enough to have a post office, few shops, cafe and pubs, but small enough to feel safe. There's a couple of bus routes to the two cities I'm in between, and a market town 15 minutes drive away.

Before I lived here, I was in the city centre, where it grew up. I've lived in various houses around the city, but never felt properly at home. This village however is somewhere I know I'll never leave. Schools are great, transport links good, crime rates very low, property very affordable :)

so sad for people that hate their homes, that sucks

I really like my neighbourhood now, reasons are

15 minute fast train to central london- so despite being suburbs I can access London easily
near work
DS now at a GREAT school
its green for a major city, very green in fact and loads of parks
Its not chi-chi (which would annoy me) but I can acess chi-chi if I like
I know a few locals enough to feel like its home
I love my garden
its diverse enough so there is no bitchy clique
despite being local authority, no problems, at all

I don't like either the house (too modern) the garden (too big, too windswept) or the village (too suburban to feel like a village but not urban enough to be of much use)

We moved here for convenience when DS was a baby & I've never liked it. DH thinks it's fine & that I'm ungrateful - I'm not, I just don't like it.

I love where I live but the house is getting too small! We moved here when I was pregnant with DC1 and it ticked all the boxes. Within waddling distance of health- and children's centres, close to shops, exit to major routeways, train station etc but also within 15-20 minutes of amazing beaches and countryside.
The house itself is s new build in a tiny development of a handful of houses. It's a mixture of owners and renters and everyone gets on ok. Kids in and out of each others houses and lots of standing out the front gabbing!
If I had to live anywhere else it would be, bizarrely, Shetland. I spent some time there for work and think it's amazing!

I like the house but hate the location. We could do with being closer to DHs office and mainline railway as we waste a lot of time queued on the roads. I'd like to live with no near neighbours if I could.

I like my house, but not the general area. I also loathe the climate where we are! We were spoilt though, as we used to live in Southern California. Every day I dream of returning there, it was a fantastic way of life.

Love my house but hate the dog owners that just park on the side of the road and let their dogs out for a run and don't clean up after them. Bloody owners just sit and gaze at their phones whilst their dogs shit next to my hedge.

No my house is a shit pit I have had no electric for 3 months I have a 1 year old baby

Thank god we are moving on Sunday finally brought a house

Live in a mining village and, although it lacks certain amenities, our end of the village is mostly pretty peaceful and people tend to be quite friendly. As the boys grow up, I'd like to move to somewhere with a bit more going on, but we're staying put at least for the next 3 years until DS2 finishes primary school.

That somewhere will be in the same county, mind. Both boys have statements!

We are moving to a new build in a few weeks . I love where I live now and all the neighbours and I'm genuinely terrified the new neighbours will be horrid ..

We moved to a village last year and feel very lucky. Neighbours and school mums have been lovely and welcoming. I don't miss being in a city, for me it's great when you don't have kids and can enjoy nightlife but I feel much more part of a community here.

I love where I live now, it's back in the village I grew up! I've done the living in big city and out in the country and am very happy to be living where we are. My parents live 200 yds away in my old family home, my brother who has also lived away for years now lives 1/4 mile away and my lovely in laws live 3 miles away.
I know a lot of people in the village and see people I went to school with, my ds goes to my old primary school which is opposite our house and my ds attends a special school which is also in the village. We are very lucky to have a big support network around us which very much appreciate after many years of living away.
Location wise it is great - Swansea 15 mins, Cardiff 45, we can be on the nearest beach in 15 minutes or down on the Gower Peninsular in 45 mins or we can be in Tenby in just over an hour if the traffic is light. We have country parks and waterfalls close by and Brecon is 50 mins.

I love it. I live in a large town on the South Coast and it is great. We've got the beach and the Downs, we're close to London, Gatwick and Dover for easy travel to Europe. We've got good schools and a good cultural life here. I don't intend to ever move away.

Love it - a small, vibrant city with good restaurants, bars and a great vibe. Great schools, fantastic people and can be at the coast within 1 hour or into countryside (national parks) within half an hour. Both our work commutes are less than 15 mins.

I did for a long time think that moving to a naicer village would be the right thing to do for the dc, but have come to conclusion that we're best here. I know I wouldn't fit in with the Stepford wife set and not sure the dc would thank us for moving away from any nightlife in a few years time!

I wouldn't move house even if I won £100m on the eurolottery.

I live on my family farm and 5 years ago I took over completely and moved into the big house (13 bed manor house) when parents retired.

Nearest neighbours are a cluster of 4 houses about a mile away (and I own them so any nonsense and I can evict the tenants). Nearest shop circa 5 miles and nearest town about 15 miles.

There is a river and lakes to fish, plenty of walks and land to ride horses or go shooting / hunting over. My boys are just over 18months old and I'm really looking forward to bringing them up doing all the sorts of things I used to do as a kid. I learned to drive aged 13 and by 15 was happily driving around our land unsupervised on dad's tractor or in his old land rover.
I realise I was , and they will be, extremely lucky in that they will have a lot of personal freedom and space to explore out here.

Like I said, I wouldn't move if I won the lottery. The only way I'm ever leaving my home is in a box.

bish good luck with your move I'm sure it'll be fine. I liked where we lived before then we bought a house on a new build development a few months ago. Best decision we could have made. Neighbours are lovely, I think it helps being new build as most people are looking to make friends/set down roots. local amenities great, parks and green space for the kids and a primary school a short walk away. I'll be glad when it's all built and I don't have to continually clean builders dust off my car though!

Miserable.

Both sets of neighbours acting like animals, in one way or another pissing over my territory.

I'd love to move. I'm just not in that position to move yet. Financially or otherwise. I am working on that though.

I want to move somewhere where I have no neighbours, or at least a detached house where no one talks to each other and everyone minds their own business.

It's a shame because I used to love it here. Loved the house and the old neighbours. One set moved and the others died - christ, I miss them so much. It's not just the ones either side either, the ones across the road have made life hell for my kids...

I can't think about this for long as it makes me cry.

the answer is no i am not 100% happy i live in a city london i was born in stunning cornwall i live in a council house and had a swap to move back but it fell through... anyway my 3 young children are all city born they know no different i long for the countryside the village seaside life again

I have lived in some utter shitholes with no obvious way out at the time so I sympathise hugely with those currently unhappy and/or feeling trapped.

Despite our most recent move having been enforced by redundancy, we have landed on our feet. Although expensive (our rent is just under 50% of my take-home pay), I love where we live. I love the city, tourists and all; I love our street - within seconds' walk of the city centre but on a no-through road so quiet - and I love our house. We have one arsehole of a neighbour but the others are lovely and we don't have to see much of the rotten apple. It's his views rather than his daily behaviour towards us which make him unpleasant so he doesn't have a massive impact on our life. The standard of NHS healthcare is also noticably better here than in our last place - important when my DH is disabled, and in fact he now has a GP whose specialism is mental health.

I can be at work via public transport in ten minutes. We're about an hour away on the train from close family and because where we live is accessible, beautiful and steeped in history, friends and family are happy to make the effort to visit us. The city is small enough that we can be out into glorious countryside within twenty minutes.

Although we don't have a huge amount of disposable income for eating out etc, when we can afford to treat ourselves we have a plethora of lovely restaurants and pubs within walking distance to choose from, but because our street is a little off the beaten track we don't have to contend with lots of drunken behaviour. It's the best of both worlds.

I love it here :)

Love it. Very very rural. On the side of a mountain, overlooking the sea.
