Meine erste Wohnung war sehr klein. Sie hatte ein Schafzimmer, eine Küche, und ein Bad. Sie hatte billige Teppiche und nur zwei Fenster. Sie war jedoch sicher, und in der Nähe meiner Arbeit, und die waren die wichtigsten Sorgen. Unser öffentlicher Verkehr ist nicht gut, und ich wollte keine lange Pendler.

Mittlerweile wohne ich in einem Haus. Ich habe jetzt Kinder, und ich möchte in der Nähe von Spielplätze und gute Schulen.

(My first apartment was very small. It had a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It had cheap carpets and only two windows. However, it was cheap and near my work, and these were the most important concerns. Our public transport is not good, and I didn’t want a long commute.

Nowadays I live in a house. I have children now, and I want to leave near playgrounds and good schools.)

I haven’t answered to this post yet? I thought I did.

Hello Vanessa, just some minor mistakes this time.
“Sie war jedoch sicher, und in der Nähe meiner Arbeit, und die waren die wichtigsten Sorgen” -> Sie war jedoch sicher, und in der Nähe meiner Arbeit, und das waren die größten Sorgen”
die = das (~das hier, was ich aufgelistet habe)
Sorgen are not important but big in German.

“Ich habe jetzt Kinder, und ich möchte in der Nähe von Spielplätze und gute Schulen.” -> “Ich habe jetzt Kinder, und ich möchte in der Nähe von Spielplätze und gute Schulen leben.”
you forgot the leben at the end.
