New job in Plattsburgh

[ref301]

I start at CVPH on August 18th. Had three visits looking for a place to buy, no luck yet. We are probably going to buy some property and look to build. Need some advice on rental property as my daughter and I will need a place to live while our current house is on the market. Any thoughts? She will be starting at AuSable Valley Central School in the Fall.

Did you already find a rental?
Think you will enjoy this area very much from the sound of things and your hobbies and likes.............but to be perfectly honest, Ausable Valley wouldn't be my first choice of schools for my teen. There are some areas of Keeseville that are rough............kinda redneck rough. A very good friend's son who went to spend time on the beach down in that area with his girlfriend (both from other schools) got a pretty bad beating a few years ago. There are a lot of kids in that district who don't get out much if you know what I mean...........For instance, to go into Plattsburgh to the mall is the farthest place they have ever been in their lives. I don't mean to sound snotty, and I am sure there are nice kids there as well, but have to say it. I just don't know any professional-type families who moved here for jobs and ended up in that district........(for what it is worth).
