[quote=Anonymous]Hello NYC dwellers (or former dwellers), I am hoping you can help me out. My husband was just offered a job in midtown NY. We currently live in the DC area and could theoretically stay here while he commuted up and down, but we have teens and everyone has decided they are up for an adventure and so we are planning a move up the the NY area. My husband needs to be in the office (post Covid) 3 times a week which leaves us pretty open in terms of where we go as he can be flexible in terms of time in the office. Our kids are in private but we are going to switch to public as the schools up there are solid and our kids seem to want to go public so it works all around. I have read all the threads on this board in terms of moving and they are very helpful. If you had the choice and were in the mood for a change of scenery, where would you chose? We are ok with paying higher taxes as we won't be paying for private school. About me - I don't really want to be in a pure suburban community. I went to Darian once to meet friend there and it reminded me of stepford wives, so I can rule that out.  For these last couple/few years with the kids at home we are trying to think what might be fun and a bit more interesting for us all. We like somewhere to go to get coffee, have dinner etc so we need some kind of "centre". Obviously we need good schools for the next few years, but we are not hung up on the "best" schools.
If you had your pick, where would you go? We will rent for the first year, but our house budget would be $2.5-$3m.[/quote]
