Hi everyone, my wife and I are planning on moving out of nyc. Our kids are almost school age and we would like to settle down in a more affordable and safer place for the kids.

I was looking around and Lansdale so far seem like a good fit (according to google)lol

My wife is Chinese and her mother would like to move somewhere that have a descent size Chinese community.
Our main concern is racism, overall safety , and good schools. And of course, it’s somewhat close to NYC so easier for us to visit family and friends.

Would love to know if anyone have any more insights. Any area to avoid, anywhere else in PA that is a better fit for us? Appreciate it.

Racism shouldn't be a big problem in Lansdale, and North Penn school district is very good. I'm not sure how big the Chinese community is there, though.

That whole area should be aligned to what you are looking for.

I'd suggest finding a Chinese church in the area and asking them if there are specific pockets that may be a better fit.
