[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not move unless you are really looking to get away from your current location.  It will be a big adjustment for everyone, and if you're not all in on the idea the family will miss what they gave up.[/quote]

My DH is fine with moving.  I am constantly having back and forth hesitation (the move will benefit me a lot but I will miss the nyc access and a little for the beach).  The kids are very young so they should adjust quickly. [/quote]
I think you are looking at it from the perspective of your current activities, which are parent driven right now. As your kids get older, they become more involved in different things, and your evenings and weekends become more wrapped around shuttling kids around to sports, clubs, school events, etc. our busiest time with 3 kids was from late elementary to mid high school (when kids got driver’s licenses).

Look at the more suburban town and consider all available activities. Is swimming big? Is there a youth sports organization (soccer, basketball, baseball)? Is scouting big? Are there art & music programs? What summer camps are there? This is all separate from whatever is available in middle and high school.

I think you should move. The shorter commute alone will be more important than you think. The extra financial cushion will give you more flexibility for kids enrichment, besides the possibility of private school.[/quote]

Thank you for the the advices.  The inland town also has a lot of youth sports and art & music programs and summer camps.  The only major difference I think of is that if we need private tutors for music instruments or sports, we are more likely to find better quality instructors in the current beach town due to it being a very wealthy suburb in the NYC metro.[/quote]
