[quote=Anonymous] I have three kids (age 15-21), and I have observed that the culture in which your child grows up really matters as much as the schools. So wherever you live, try to surround yourself with people with admirable qualities. (My DH and I both grew up in LMC neighborhoods where most people were lovely, but there was also a distinct trashy element that was kind of demoralizing. We wanted our kids to grow up in a neighborhood where people have slightly higher standards for themselves in terms of behavior.) Because our budget was limited (like yours), we had a choice between a nice house (in a less desirable neighborhood) or a mediocre house (in a nicer neighborhood). We chose the mediocre house in the nicer neighborhood, and have had no regrets. [/quote]
