[quote=Anonymous]We prioritized DH’s commute to his company’s HQ, which has since moved across town. And walkability, because we had moved from a car-only area after many years in NYC.

We didn’t have a child at the time and assumed that we could easily move to the “nicer” part of our area in 5-6 years. We moved at a time when housing had tanked and all areas were pretty accessible except for a few crazy streets and neighborhoods. We were happy to access our neighborhood and weren’t worried about having to street park or our small kitchen, because we were in the mindset that we’d grocery shop frequently and walk many places. We also thought the nearby private schools would be good because we came from an area where private schools are competitive and excellent.ying out of diverse public schools.

Joke’s on us. DH is WFH 3 days/week but we don’t have a separate office. We don’t have time to grocery shop 5x/week and I would do anything for one more cupboard, nevermind a pantry. Schools are bleh and our DD’s activities are all far away by car because no one with kids wants to live in our area. I wish we had prioritized:

-1-2 extra rooms
-a kitchen with more food storage
-A garage and/or driveway (so tired of unloading in full view of even nosy neighbor and potential thief)
-good schools
-proximity to pools, sports fields, sports facilities
