I'd stick urban / suburban.

I was at our friends acreage out of town recently and there are definitely benefits: added isolation, space, closeness to nature and more self-sufficiency are all nice. However, the commute would kill me . I don't like spending lots of time driving so unless something significant changed job-wise I'll stick to the city.

For the house itself I'd love some more square footage, a nice garage and a different neighbourhood (closer to the kids' school). However, for location, I really don't even want to move to the outer suburbs - I like a more central, almost inner-city location (for our small city, that is).

But I also would love to stop paying a mortgage at some point in my life so staying where I am at and making do / adapting is also rather attractive.
