Yeah. I'd go for an apartment, certainly with a little kid. Houses are A LOT of work maintaining, fixing up, cutting grass, moving snow and fucking EXPENSIVE just to keep going too.
Worst move I ever made was moving out to a beautiful house when our daughter was born. Made good money on it when we sold, but I never had a moment to myself. Had to drive 2 hours into work and back every day, do the shopping, fix the garden... Nightmare. Needed 2 cars too. Enormous monthly household running costs.
Dangerous driving dark frozen winter roads too. Wifey crashed her car with the kids in it too. That was the final straw. Sold up that spring and moved back to Helsinki.
