The commute may be longer but the enjoyment of the community for the wife and kids should balance that out.
Moved from Killarney and commute to beltline, so it will quite a shock for commute time but would rather that and have my kids grow up in the burbs.

I'm legitimately not trying to bait you into anything, but having lived in the Killarney/Glenbrook area previously, what appeal did the burbs have for you in terms of raising your kids?
Seems to be a very well developed/safe area of the city, just wondering what you felt it was lacking in terms of family amenities.
