If you have never lived anywhere but Wisconsin you are going to have some culture shock. I don't mean that as a bad thing; but I lived all my life in MI and spent the last 8 years here on Long Island and it's very, very, very different! I do know of a 2-bedroom co-op for sale in Queens but I'm not sure you'd really like it there. If you want to send me a private message I could give you some details. It is for sale now but the owners might rent it out to you. It sounds very nice; a lady who is a secretary for a college department is selling it after her dad passed away. It's just a suggestion if you want more info I'd be happy to get it to you.

Yes, people love to hate NYC. It's a great place to raise kids. The diversity here is amazing. Diversity is good for your kids. Educational opporunities are great with Ivy League schools. The NYC area is the best place in the world to raise kids, imo. Kids who grow up in NYC are ready to take on the world at age 9, while small town 18 year old kids would be running scared from the big city and would be too scared to leave the small town.

Just because your husband in opening his business in the boroughs doesn't mean that you have to live there either. You can also look "upstate" in Westchester or Putnam counties. The commute will be something for your husband to consider for sure but the lifestyle might be more of what you're used to.
