[quote=Anonymous]OP, I live in NYC and will comment on the school situation. It's relatively easy with elementary schools - pick a school, find which buildings are zoned for that school, rent there. You can even move the next year and keep the kid at the same school; once they are in, they are in. Middle schools are trickier because in many desirable places, e.g. Upper West Side, Park Slope, you essentially do not have a zoned school. You go through a district wide lottery or a similarly opaque process that spreads the kids far and wide. That's why many people leave when their kids reach middle school (and don't get the placement they desire). Finding 3 bdr apartment is hard because there are very few of them. In a typical building, there might be 1 line of true 3 bdr, and maybe another 1-2 lines of 2 bdr where you can close off a dining room. [/quote]
