My husband and I are considering relocating from Florida to New York state. We are not familiar with the counties in New York State but would like to live in a county with a great middle school district. At least about two hours out side New York City. We would be looking to rent a two bedroom two bathroom house on a tree lined street, not to city or not to suburban just the perfect blend. We would appreciate your honest feed back as we have a 13yr old daughter who is in six grade now and would like a good neighborhood to raise her in. My husband is in the building/maintenance field and would like feed back on the job marker in the area. Thanks.
Syracuse is outside of the distance to NYC. Perhaps something in Orange, Ulster, Albany, Rensselaer, Dutchess and maybe even Westchester or Rockland Counties.
Is there anything else you are looking for in a community?
I can definitely help with the Florida aspect of it since I lived there in the past and I helped a couple and another friend move here within the past few months.
Job market obviously depends on what your husband is looking for - I have no knowledge of his job field, sorry. You should really give more info for anyone to be able to help you specifically.
I am a native of Syracuse and CNY who currently lives in Florida, but I have family and friends in the area. I can guarantee you that schools are much better in NYS than here in Florida.
