[quote=Anonymous]Not a bad idea. Just a few things to consider: 1. If you give up the private school and decide you want back into the city, what would you do? 2. Are your kids sporty? That is usually the best way for kids (especially boys) to make new friends in the burbs. Make sure they are on board with this 3. Don't necessarily aim for the highest profile towns. Schools there are intense, as are the parents. Plenty of other suburbs that are great with very good schools but a bit more chill. If you are looking north think of the river towns (Irvington, Hastings-on-Hudson), or Larchmont/Mamoroneck. Would you consider NJ? 4. Where does your DH work? Actually makes a big difference. If he is near Grand Central this whole plan is dramatically easier than if he is downtown or elsewhere - the secondary commute from Grand Central is often a killer.[/quote]
