My husband and I have kinda stumbled on our dream property. It’s 6 acres and a little off the beaten path but only about 15 min to civilization. It’s a really unique location honestly. We have always wanted the privacy and beauty of country living however we’re in the midst of starting our family. I’m wondering if the community can share their honest opinions and experiences living outside of the suburbs as kids or with kids. Did you/do they miss having neighborhood kids to play with? Did having access to things like farm animals and the woods or a creek compensate for the inability to ride your bike or hang out with friends in the neighborhood? What did your parents do or what do you do to make sure your kids are socializing and not missing out. This is our dream home but is this life a kids dream?
Edit: I just want to thank you all so much for your thoughtful responses! This has been incredibly reassuring and helpful! What a great group! 💘
