The other thing for OP to find out is it more than just seeing family.  Is it a sense of community and/or having land/space?  I know several people that have moved from close-in suburb to having 1 acre or more of space. They want their kids to play in the creek in the back yard, hear the frogs, see the deer and not be on top of neighbors etc.  There are also mom friends I know that picked specific neighborhoods that are known for being very community oriented.  Like they have book clubs, bunko, you see adults dressing up for the Halloween party at Susie’s house etc.  Or maybe it’s a neighborhood with lots of kids that ride their bikes outside and a decent number of SAHMs.[/quote]

What is a struggle for me is that we are into our third house since we've been together. Each one a bigger upgrade. We now have a 3/4 acre property, big house, pool, vegetable garden, privacy from neighbors, and native bush with a small stream through it.

My wife has never really been happy there and never really made any effort to improve it. For example, she always says she wants a vegetable garden, but in 4 years she's never touched it and it's just overgrown with weeds. I like gardening too but she says I can't touch it because it's her project.
