Atlanta to Cincinnati... (Hamilton, Mason, Landen: safe area, school district, to live in)

[Ghanley]

I am looking to move my family out of suburban Atlanta to, possibly, Cincinnati. I am a hs math teacher, husband in IT. We have two elementary aged boys, so schools are a top priority. Our housing budget would be $200,000-$240,000. We are true suburbanites...we like neighborhoods, parks, shopping nearby. Suggestions?

If you like neighborhoods, parks and shopping nearby you probably aren't suburbanites, you would probably prefer to live in an urban neighborhood, or a small town that was later surrounded by suburbs.

In the Cincinnati area, Mariemont, Glendale, Maderia, and Pleasant Ridge fit this description.

Thanks jl! Any gang issues in those areas? Our suburb of Atlanta is developing a serious drug cartel problem. Any good realty sites to check out?

[jlrosen]

No, gangs are virtually non existent in Cincinnati, even in the inner city there really aren't gangs. I like huff realty

I would strongly suggest sycamore school district...you can use this website sibcycline.com to search by school district. There are several neighborhoods that feed into this district. Of course I am partial to Montgomery, but all the neighborhoods in that school district are great, and they have MANY wonderful parks.

Define "suburbanites". Define "neighborhoods". Parks and nearby shopping aren't an issue. Some people detest the suburbs, and so they'll steer people into areas of the city that they consider suburbs, but it may not be what you have in mind by "suburbs".

West Chester or Liberty Township(Lakota Schools), Mason(Mason City Schools), Deerfield and Hamilton Townships and Landen (Kings Schools), Loveland(Loveland schools), and Symmes Township/Montgomery(Sycamore schools), would all be great options that I think you would like. All have the typical suburban amenities and are very nice and safe areas. Also, all the schools listed are rated excellent.

Thanks everyone! Your feedback is very helpful and I look forward to "consulting" you all in the future!
