Default Sherman/Denison/Pottsboro information.

My husband just took a job in Denison and we are moving from the Memphis area. We have 2 kids ages 11, and 8. Need advice on Rentals and areas to live. Schools, etc. We need to be within 30 minutes of Sherman Denison HWY 75 area. We have visited and liked what we found, now just need to make the jump. We are thinking we should rent for a time until we get to know the area, but I do need to get kids enrolled@ I have read posts and am looking for more information on out lying areas, schools and little tid bits outsiders dont know.

We have gone with a realtor and dri ven all over Sherman, Denison, & Pottsboro but want to make sure we are in a good school district when the oldest goes into 7th grade next year.

I would like to downsize so lets say under $300K for a purchase, but I am skeptical of buying until I know the area better.
I appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance!!!

Sherman and Denison have beautiful areas. I would recommend staying on the west side in both cities. They are newer and much safer at night. Denison and Sherman have good schools, I have only heard bad stuff about Pottsboro. My kids are in a Denison ISD and love it. However most of my friends live in Sherman and their kids love the schools there as well. $300K will get you a lot of house in this area.
PM me if you have any more questions, I have lived here for almost 20 years.
