What is a good area in Richmond or the Suburbs?
I currently live in a suburb of Atlanta and I am looking for something similiar. I know Richmond is much different than Atlanta, so I will have to do some major adjusting. There's a possiblity that my husband could be transferred there along with a few other cities along the east coast.
First, schools are a huge issue. I need great schools, preferably private. My son is currently attending a daycare in a private preschool and I would like to continue that style of education.
Second, we would need to be in a safe area. Low crime is a must, so my guess is inside the city limits are out from what I have seen on city data so far. What are decent zip codes to be in?
Also, I would like a place that offers a bit of walkability. Coffee shops, unique stores, etc. This is near where I live now Visit Roswell Georgia Convention & Visitors Bureau - Home - Welcome to Historic Roswell, Georgia to get an idea of what I am looking for. |

The good private schools are all located very close to the city...have you looked in the Glen Burnie area near Libbie and Grove. This area is within walking distance to St. Catherine's and St. Christopher's.

That is inaccurate and sounds very biased. She wants low crime.
Trinity, on the other side of the river, would be a better choice. |

Glen Burnie is not bad but the closer she gets to 195 would be a bad idea...how old are her children? Trinity is only high school, right? |
