Right, which is why I don't tell people where I would never or always recommend they raise their kids. Makes sense, don't you think?

I live, and grew up in Mound! And I love everything about it! The schools are wonderful! Mound is about 15 min. away from ridge-dale and 20-25 to Minneapolis! In the summer there's much to do! Mound is surrounded by the lakes! I would defiantly look into it!

Mound is very nice, but expensive, no?

Maple Grove and Woodbury, along with Plymouth, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Eagan, Rosemount, Blaine are all excellent, safe, convenient suburbs.
Some parts of east Bloomington are run down, but as you say others are not.

I loved being able to talk to the MoA and to the wildlife preserve in the MN River Valley from my apartment when I lived in the area.

I could see myself buying a house there, depending of course on how airport noise has shifted since I lived there in the late 90's.
