[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flooding.  I also like old town but the nearby neighborhoods seem to have major water issues during big storms.   As sea levels rise it will only get worse.  Initially I though flooding was isolated to old town but I have learned how wrong I was.  Also, I like to live in an area with good public schools as a backup even though my kids don’t go to them.[/quote]

OP here. This is good to know, I thought the problem was confined to old town. But it seems like places like Rosemont and Beverly Hills don’t have those issues, do they? And those neighborhoods seem really lovely and a short drive to old town (as I said I want a suburban feel but a quick drive to a downtown).[/quote]

The issue is not so much the flooding of the streets, which does happen to a limited degree at the end of King St.  The sewers back-up which pushes raw sewage into your house.  My basement flooded with raw sewage several times when I lived in North Old Town.  Two times it was bad enough that I needed to rip out drywall and carpet to fix it.

I moved.  Not a problem where I live now.[/quote]
