My family is considering a move to Rhode Island. We currently live in Silver Spring, MD. Our neighborhood is made up of single-family homes from the 30's and 50's. It is fairly diverse both racially and religiously. And walkable to stores and restaurants. We'd like some of these features in a new neighborhood, but don't think we can have it all. Can we?
We would be looking to spend in the neighborhood of $500,000 for our new home. I would be working in downtown Providence and hate having a long commute (currently have a 15-20 minute drive to work).
Private school is not an option for us. But a good public school system is a must.
We've spent a lot of time in the East Bay in the past, but we are curious about other areas.
I think if schools are important you should judge towns/cities by school district first. Unless, you are open to private/catholic schools then you can move to the town/city that fits your wants the best.
Find schools and their ratings and school districts, too.
