Is common to see people move farther from the city center in order to afford a bigger house.
That’s a good idea if you feel like lacking space and want more, eg a garden you enjoy caring for, dedicated rooms for hobbies, children or home offices, especially if you enjoy the perks of being closer to nature etc.
But what I often see it people moving to bigger houses without the need of that space, and having a social circle that makes you go often in the city anyway, basically spending more time and money going back and forth. Sure you have a guest room now, but who would ever want to stay there if it’s 30km from the city center?
Now I live in a big house 20min to the sea walking, but I would totally go for a smaller one closer to it, but would never go to a bigger one that prevents me from going to nature without crossing highways
