I have two young children and opted not to live in a compound and don't regret it for a moment!
We have a beautiful large detached villa with lovely big garden and private swimming pool, the area is safe and there are lots of kids around playing in the streets just like in a compound only with a much nicer house, space etc and we didn't pay much more than what they are charging for most compound houses which don't compare at all in size and finishings etc.
You should try west bay lagoon not a compound but in between.
It's a lengthy process finding a home especially in the top compounds but I guess if your company has connections that might help. I would also decide where your kids will be going to school before you make your decision as traffic is so bad here that it makes life soooo much easier being close to where they are!
