[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try renting first because you may want to get the hells out when you se what happens at night[/quote] +1 Hang out at the park close to where you are thinking of buying. See who is there, look around for drug paraphernalia, etc. I owned a house in an urban setting, then had my kid and went to the playground for the first time. Lots of drug deals happening in the afternoon....and none of the kids we met spoke English, which, yes, inhibited me from becoming pals with the mothers and inviting them over when our socioeconomic status was so vastly different....no I did not think they were going to rob me, just that we didn't have much in common...just being honest. Think about where the preschool/daycare might be (pick one close to home), pediatrician, kiddie classes, etc. Once DC arrives, walking to buy the Sunday NY Times and eating omelettes on Sunday won't be as big as a priority of feeling your child is safe and has some peers to play with.
