If we were to move to NY we would probably like to be in a suburban or area with lots of nature maybe a cute downtown with coffee shops or a book store.

I would say if you do the Syracuse area, while the villages in this school district don’t have downtowns with those things, I would say to look at the East Syracuse-Minoa SD. It was mentioned in the thread I posted as being noted for its good services and you can still be in close proximity to the Eastwood neighborhood of Syracuse, which has 2 bookstores and 2 cafes, among some other things, on its Main Street(James Street).
A neighborhood in that SD that would put you within relatively close proximity to that Syracuse neighborhood is the Franklin Park area of the town of DeWitt(east of Kinne Street/north of Kirkville Road). It isn’t walkable, but has some park space within and a big park across Kinne Street from the neighborhood. In fact, Challenger Baseball for children with special needs plays its games there. So, that may be something to consider.
Something else I just thought of is that the Fremont/Fremont Hills area of the town of Manlius within the school district puts you close to the village of Fayetteville, which also has 2 or 3 cafes and Green Lakes State Park. Fayetteville is south of that community and Green Lakes is east of it. Fayetteville also has the Towne Center at Fayetteville shopping center.
I would also suggest the Minoa Farms development in the village of Minoa nearby, but watch out for property taxes there, as they can be pretty high. It is a newer development though and that could appeal to you.
Kirkville further east/NE is a more rural area of the SD.
You should be able to get a home within your budget within the district as well.
