[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the NYC area now and I have to admit, it's a pretty fantastic place to raise kids. Agree with pp - I'll make the caveat that I am a fairly wealthy suburb so that absolutely impacts my answer. I love the four distinct seasons, I love that I can access the city easily on weekends, great public schools, I love our charming walkable downtown. The negative is by far the cost including taxes. I stayed in Manhattan until my oldest was almost two. The baby phase was great in the city - no way would I go back though. We outgrew our apartment quickly and I just couldn't live without a backyard. I can't compare this to every place in the US though. I'm sure there are great places to live nationwide.[/quote] Where did you grow up? [/quote] Grew up in Wellesley, MA.[/quote]
