To swap my council house

Okay so this is my first time posting, more of a WWYD. I rent a Council house, it's a Victorian terrace 3 story, livingroom dining room small kitchen 4 bedrooms 2 large one small & one box room. I have a small L shaped patio type yard, small but enough room for table/chairs some fairy lights few pots etc will attach photo of part of it. The street is mainly bought houses with just 2 council including mines. All in all a great house however I've been wanting a back garden for my 3 children for a long time & have a girl interested in swapping. She has a new build house on a council estate, 3 bedroom no dining room but enlarge kitchen & a great back garden with lawn. Now the catch is her house is 500per month whereas mines is 350per month, my house has character & not on an estate with high ceilings & long halls but hers has the large garden that I've been longing for & the house is only 2 years old, would I be unreasonable to swap based solely on wanting a large garden for my 3 DC one of whom is on the spectrum & cant play outside? Wwyd

Thanks everyone, I have made my decision to stay put appreciate the views/advice from people who already have great gardens. Not sure about the 'dont be lazy' comment I'm a very active person & active with my kids 🤔 wanting a garden didnt mean I was doing so to avoid parks altogether lol
