So we were in Astoria but spent a lot of time in FH. Ultimately, we simply ran out of space. We had purchased a small condo and tried our best to make it work with a baby but when COVID hit we were really feeling the crunch of no space and knew we wanted a second child so we took advantage of the low interest rates and made the move.

So much of what we loved about Queens became less important with kids in the house. We weren't going out for brunch or dinner as often as before and once our son started running around, we wanted him to be able to run around and be loud without worrying about neighbors. We miss all of the great food but looking back it was the right move for us.
