Shaesheart- I know this post is a year old but just came across it and was wondering if you did make the move to Raymond? We moved here 2 years ago and really love it, we live on the lamprey river. I hear the school system isn't that great but all the children in our neighborhood are wonderful, well behaved and seem to keep out of trouble- that says something I think. We lived in Exeter for a long time in a 'upscale' neighborhood with supposedly great school systems and the children in our neighborhood left a lot to be desired! They stole our mail out of our mailbox, smashed pumpkins, ruined my garden, peed in my front yard and threw rocks at my dog sleeping in our yard. We always locked our doors and most of the neighbors were always afraid of what they would come home to when they left. So maybe Raymond doesn't have the best school system but I feel safe and we never lock our doors here!
