[quote=Anonymous]You are way too pretentious and will not enjoy Burke and west Springfield.

I grew up there. Lived there after college. I didn't enjoy it.

Small houses? Those are townhouses. The norm is large homes. It's true suburbia there. You aren't t walking to anything except your own neighborhood and likely a park of some sort as anothe PP pointed out. You are driving everywhere. Your weekends in summer are swim meets, followed by shipping at high box stores, some landscaping thrown in, and then maybe seeing a couple neighbors but even in those areas families are "busy" on the weekends.  Fall, winter, spring - replace swim team with soccer or tall/baseball. Sunday is church followed by breakfast/lunch and the more shopping!

SAHD? You will be an anomaly and your neighbors are going to think its odd. ( personally I don't) realize that over that past 15 years families moved into those areas because it offered single family homes under the $500k range giving lower income dual households the chance to have a house (lower income meaning those making less than $150k not true low income) lots of military families in the area too.

Do yourself a favor. Rent in the desired location for a couple years before committing to a neighborhood.
