Hi…I am hoping you can help me gather information for a future move.
My Dh and I currently live in SoCal and know that we just can’t afford to raise a family here (comfortably). So I am researching 4 markets to move to. I can find most information on the internet but am looking for “locals” to help with information as well, since neither of us has ever lived outside of California.
We will make a decision sometime next year and then move forward as to where to move. Of course we will visit the states we are looking at, but only for about a weekend – not much you can find out that quickly but it will help some. We will rent for about 2 years while deciding where to build the house of our dreams.
*Education (and benefits of kids remaining in state for college?)
*What are the best Grade Schools, High Schools?
*Seasonal Info – does it rain a lot or snow? Is it hot or humid? Etc…
*What are the best Suburbs? Which are the worst – which should I completely avoid?
*What do YOU like best about where you live?
*Anything else you think I should know or concern myself with about your state?
Any information you can provide is GREATLY appreciated!!! I can’t tell you how much it would mean to me. Again, THANK YOU!!!
