Need some hope. Anyone buy a starter home that was not their ideal dream home only to later obtain their dream home?

I bought in 2020 2.5% interest rate, at first it was great, now new neighbors have moved in and the neighborhood isn’t the same. It’s definitely run down now compared to when we first moved in. Plus the homes are super close together and it’s just not ideal for us anymore. We would love a larger lot and more rooms as we are growing out of it, but our mortgage is so cheap that we feel we should save for a few more years for our dream home.

I just feel like buying this home was a mistake but idk. I do have about 150k equity which is better than nothing I guess
