Weekend house.

Get to keep your short commute and get all the benefits of being out of the city when you have free time. Not like you’re enjoying a yard in the week anyway.

IMO going to the suburbs you still compromise based on commute / price. Weekend house further out than the suburbs gets you better outdoors for less money.
