We're moving out east too. It's what we can afford. In our case, I'm not currently working & DH works at home or travels a lot. So whilst his commute will increase, it wont be every day.
For us, it's a 4-5 year house as it's a unit without much land. We can see us moving further out to get more land, but we're homebodies and want room for kids & dogs & to grow our own food. We both used to be inner city people, but it's not what we're into anymore.
What do you value most? I'd do a list of pros & cons.
Thanks everyone for all your tips and advice. I have a bit of homework to do before I make the big decision. If I go by what my drive home with the kids was like today i'd be saying Donvale (my DS started whinging about 5 minutes into our drive ...hence why I didnt bother testing the drive out today ...but I realise its not always going to be a problem as when they start school I wont be driving them all the way to the inlaws. This is meant to be our 'forever' house so I want to make sure we make the right decision. Will keep you posted on the outcome!!
