Honestly, I’m not going to say the lockdowns were easy or fun by any stretch, however, there were definitely fun moments and living here meant we were much less isolated. We were counting our lucky stars to live in such a tight-knit community.

I think it all boils down to wanting to create a home rather than a temporary place to live — having supportive friends and neighbours around you, with like-minded values, contributes enormously to a sense of place, and in turn, your quality of life.

I am sincerely grateful every day for the community at Nightingale while parenting small people. Between The Commons and Nightingale 1, there are about twelve kids under four years old, so there is never a shortage of kids to play with or parents to hang out with.
