[quote=Anonymous]The below NYtimes article describes people who left the city for a suburb, only to realize it was not a good fit. It can be a difficult decision whether or not to leave a city in and of itself. deciding to move again in little time, without knowing if it will be a good fit, is financially and emotionally taxing.

Switching suburbs after you’ve plunked down a hefty down payment and settled your children in school seems infinitely challenging, and indeed some recent transplants who have doubts about their new communities resign themselves to the idea that there is no such thing as a perfect suburb.

But for others, the gnawing sensation that something is not quite right pushes them to keep searching for another suburb, a better suburb, a place where they might actually feel at home. Maybe it’s the commute. Maybe the schools are too big or too small, or the town is too quiet or not quiet enough. Maybe what they thought was important — the big yard and the birds singing out the windows — was not so important after all.[/quote]

Does this article resonate with anyone- did you choose the wrong suburb and then ultimately find an area that was best for you? Any tips to get it right the first time?

I still live in the city (which is no longer D.C., though it used to be), so I don't have any personal stories, but am interested in this topic. [/quote]
