Good area to raise kids?
I would like to move, but don't know where to. I want to live in the south where there is honest southern hospitality. I want neighbors to best friends that last a life-time. I want a good place to raise kids - I have a teen-ager and a 10 year old. Good schools, low crime, etc. I'd like a neighborhood grocery store - or at least a store within walking distance that I can get a loaf of bread and milk at. I would like to have a body of water - lake, river, ocean, whatever- that is fairly close to home. I want an old-time feeling with shade trees and sidewalks, and people sitting on the front porch that you can have a bit of a conversation with as you take your kids on a walk in the neighborhood. I want the neighborhood to look nice -enough - not a junkyard next door, but not community rules to the point that they measure your grass and give you a ticket for not keeping your grass a certain height. I do home daycare - and want to open a home daycare where I move - so, there would need to be enough people locally with young kids that have a need for child care. I am a single mother - so things have to be afordable too!
Thanks!
