Opportunities for municipal land, experiences?

If it's rural and flat, you can surely manage an average speed of 23 km/h.

I don't know what kind of fitness you expect. But if a car takes 24 minutes for the distance, then you don't even need to calculate that for a bicycle. You might do it twice to prove it to yourself and never again.

If no children are planned, then I would not move into a new development area that is advertised with the aim of promoting families. Nothing against children, but even mine regularly get on my nerves.

I already get up at 5 a.m. when I have the early shift with currently 11 minutes by car. Occasionally, additional plots are apparently planned in a nearby village, also attractive. But no further information so far.

Yes, the hassle next to the commute. Hobby, children, doctors, supermarket. However, I would put aside the thought of where friends live. Priorities change quickly, and family and house/garden take on a completely different importance than friends, who eventually also focus on family. Edit: Sorry, overlapped.

I would proceed exactly the other way around: I don't find the commute to work that important. Because you have to go to work, you just do it. Even if it’s more than half an hour. If friends are only difficult to reach and priorities shift, the circle of friends/acquaintances thins out. With truly good, old friends the distance doesn't matter, with acquaintances, sports friends, hobbies etc., it’s important to me that it’s easy to reach. Someone wrote something about cycling: yes, with an e-bike absolutely no problem. I rode 20 km one way for quite some time with a normal (but good) bike. That took 65 minutes per way, but it provided daily exercise, better well-being and health, and possibilities for quick shopping, more flexibility in time management after work (straight to friends or similar). Around here, with an e-bike everything up to just under 40 km one way is done. That is really no problem. If there is interest in doing the commute by bike, then the route and surroundings are important: can you take nice side roads and shortcuts through parks and green spaces or do you just ride through traffic? There are more nice routes than one/Google Maps/komoot think; I would do a test ride there. Especially without children, you can definitely afford a longer commute. It's no problem, I think. In a car I would find it really annoying, on a bike it can be a true luxury. (I chose my new job, among other things, based on the commute distance. I didn’t want under 10 km. Now I have 5 km one way and that is too much to really feel like it’s a short commute and too little to really get going and warm up the muscles.)

In the new building the walls are well insulated. Inside you hear nothing, outside often especially playing children. I live without children in a new housing estate and it is really not annoying. I find the badly trained dogs that annoy and bark all day in the garden much more annoying.

The perception of noise or annoying sounds is quite subjective.

In the new building, the walls are well insulated.

Yes, against cold. But the DIN standard according to which buildings are constructed is rather poor acoustically if you build to standard. Sounds are of course very noticeable laterally through the windows in the house; you can even hear the warning sound of the electric car or doors slamming. Even the doorbell is audible when the terrace door is open. That may not be the case in a terraced house where you live.

You can’t hear anything inside,

see above.

Yes, I also thought about that briefly, but I consider it secondary, because with nice neighbors, children and families can be accepted and lived with positively. In addition, I do experience the occasional “Psst” in the garden in the new development area, whereas in the established area children (and even the adults themselves) are granted more freedom because you feel more “self-sufficient and free” that way.
