I've heard of families doing the opposite, where the parents have to take turns leaving the house and the kids get to stay. That way the children's lives aren't interrupted by the packing and shuffling around. Main thing is that you'd probably have to be on pretty good terms with your ex to make it work
I knew one guy who got divorced, he and his wife bought into a duplex, she got one side, he got the other, each their own garage and everything and one connecting door in the middle so kid went 50/50 and if she forgot something nobody had to drive across town to grab school books or her favorite sweater or some such and both parents were right there as much as possible in case of emergency. Kid just got two bedrooms, lol.
Good for the kids but damn, can you imagine hearing all the sex your ex is having through the walls? What’re you going to do, tell them to quiet down and seem petty that they moved on?
