[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I've got some buyer's remorse. We upgraded homes this past year and moved for the schools. Unfortunately, I now find that the street is too busy and the lack of a driveway does, in fact, bother me. I also am very worried that the neighborhood is way snobbier than I anticipated, which is my biggest concern. When my oldest starts school next year I guess I will know for sure, but if the other families are as unpleasant as they seem to be on the playground, I bet we end up moving again in a few years. Ah well...[/quote] We are also looking to move to a small place in a wealth area for the schools. I've been told that the area is snobby but I've just brushed it off thinking I'm friendly and we'll be fine. I'm curious about your experience? Why do you feel it is "snobby"? [/quote] I guess it's just the vibe so far. I introduced myself to 3 moms on the sidewalk the other day, and one didn't even say hello, the others looked a bit "unimpressed" with me. The playground seems to be a meet-up for super-skinny, fashionable moms (of which I'm sort of neither) who are a bit chilly towards a newcomer. One neighbor suggested having us over, but the actual invitation never materialized. So, not really liking the neighborhood thus far.[/quote] how long did you live in your previous place? we had gotten to know our old neighbor's really well over the years, and when we just moved, I kind of felt the same thing for a little bit, but the longer that we've been at the new place, I've come to realize that it did take us awhile to get that close to some of our old neighbors... I've also noticed that the other newer families on the street seem to be much more friendly when we bump into each other, since they are in the same position as well, so invite them over to bridge that first awkard gap...[/quote]
