[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left and moved to Manhattan. SO much happier.  Way fewer uptight midwestern people who think they know best and are perfect. Much more genuine relationships here. Less humid. More space for accepting people who are artistic. People here can do things because they enjoy them and don't have to strive to be the absolute best at their hobbies. [/quote]

OP. Manhattan sounds amazing to me, less so to my wife. How did you find the adjustment in COL? Schools? Many thanks![/quote]

Why don't you try CT? My sister lives in a big house right on the water in Riverside (a neighborhood in Greenwich). They walk to the club for tennis and a private beach, there's an amazing beach (Todd's Point/Greenwich Point Park) that's only open to residents, they walk to the town center for coffee/bagels/the hardware store/a small supermarket, a 10 minute drive to "The Ave" with all the shops and restaurants, amazing but still diverse and not soul crushing public schools, a ridiculous amount for the kids to do, and a 45 minute drive/train ride into the city. The biggest drawback is the COL but it sounds like you have the funds...[/quote]
