[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we finally got a contract on a house. It's in a great neighborhood, good commutes, good school and we can afford it (okay its at our limit but I'm okay with that) but instead of thrilled I am so sad to be leaving our amazing block of neighbors. The new house is only a mile or so away but we won't see eachother often. The new place is on a busy street so there's no chance it will be the same. (probably hence why we could actually buy it). Someone provide me with some platitudes that we are doing the right thing, please. FTR we bid on several houses in our current neighborhood and have lost. But I keep wondering...what if?  [/quote]

Sorry, we did the same thing two years ago (moved about five miles away) and while we know we did the right thing, living on the busier street means you're on the edge of your new neighborhood and we just don't know or really care for our new neighbors all that well. The old neighborhood was more of a community -- babies grew up to be elementary school kids, and about eight families basically lived in each other's houses. It was the kind of place where your child could walk into someone else's house without knocking and they'd be welcome with open arms. Here, people are more reserved, and, really, living on the busy street and on the EDGE means we're often forgotten. It's taken 2 years to get to know people well, and that's mostly through the schools.[/quote]
