The author mentions they’re just about to have a baby, and it’s notable that they don’t talk about the quality of the schools. Even if they homeschooled, I imagine they want their kids to have some friends, and they didn’t talk about how that would work without a car. Once they get a car, they might get a little bit unlucky and live an hour away from their kid’s closest peer. I hope they get along!

Why do you assume that they are no kids in the neighborhood?

I suppose another option is that they don't actually care if their kids have friends. Perhaps parents are enough, in their view.
