What is the best family oriented neighborhood with great school in greater Seattle?

Depends on how much you want to spend to live in that neighborhood. Mt. Baker (which is south seattle) has a great sense of community there, but it's pricey. Other good areas include Ballard, Columbia City (depends on what area), Greenlake, and the list can go on. I would check out statistics as far as crime goes for the areas. There was a recent article about the neighborhoods in a magazine called "Seattle Metropolitain", perhaps you can do a search online and find it. Good luck!

Hey! I lived in the Raleigh area for a while and moving back very soon. If you looking for affordable. There is Fox Haven apartments on Fox Road. Two bedrooms is about 600 a month but it is in a nice area next door to Fox Road Elementary. Also there is Maple Ridge Apartments which is close to the same range. If you want to live closer to Cary, there is Birchtree apartments. It has an outdoor pool and laundry room, and it is about 650 for a two bedroom.  The nicest areas are extreme North Raleigh, around Falls of the Neuse and Fox Road. Leesville Road is very, very nice area and Leesville School is in the area. Rated the 3rd best school in NC for about three years. Lynn Road is also very nice. You want to stay from the downtown area. Martin Street, Jones Street, South New Bern, that kind of thing. If you would like more info. you can e mail me at Andreswifey@cashette.com

Ha!  My step kids were born there!  Also my husband went to Snohomish High School.  We went there a few years ago and looked at all the "memories" he had.  It was very neat.

The best magnet schools in the state are Whitney, Lowell and Troy.\n\nThe best public schools (non-magnet) probably San Marino, Monta Vista (so Cupertino) Mission San Jose (only one in Fremont area worth going to ) Monte Vista or California (Danville or San Ramon schools are all pretty good) University High School (Irvine Unified - not bad) - Arcadia, Miramonte, Piedmont, Lynbrook, Torrey Pines, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Leland - that's about all the schools worth going to.

You don't specify-- do you mean around Manhattan? The Urban Baby message boards are a good and very active source of information: \nhttp://newyork.urbanbaby.com/community/messageboards_main.html\nI also like the GoCityKids site: \nhttp://www.gocitykids.com/?area=197\n\nI'd recommend contacting moms in your area for recommendations, and touring schools that are near your home. (GCK can help you find one in your neighborhood.)\n\nHere's a nationwide roundup of childcare websites: \nhttp://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babychildcare/6104.html

If you know what city you are interested in, use the Ministry of Education's Advanced Search feature and pick the city you want, plus check the radio buttons for "separate" and "elementary"!\nhttp://sbinfo.edu.gov.on.ca/schadv.asp

It depends on, 1)  Do you want to rent or buy, 2) Are you interested in a house, a townhouse or an apartment, 3) Your budget (affordable is how many $?)  4) Where in Seattle will you be working or going to school, 5)  Do you own a car, I ask because because some older apartments have little or no parking, 6) Do you want nightlife nearby, or a super quiet location?  7) Also, not to pry too much, but whether you are gay or straight is a consideration, 8) Your age, because some neighborhoods are very age specific in terms of you fitting in and feeling comfortable.\n\nIt's impossible to give a great answer without knowing the above.  One comment is that commuting in Seattle can be a monster, so if you can live close to where you'll be working or going to school, it can really help reduce the amount of time you'll spend in transit.

I have a niece who recently moved to NYC.  She and her friends have found the housing in Brooklyn to be the most reasonably priced.  There's public transportation everywhere in the city.

Check out Sahuarita. It's about 20 miles south of Tucson. They are supposed to have outstanding schools. I don't have children in that school system, but I've heard such good things about it. My husband is a retired teacher and does some tutoring and he's heard good things about it, too. Good luck.

I lived in Houston for 3 years and it all depends on waht kind of scene you want.  If you want suburbia and upscale subdivision then Katy (the west side), Sugarland (southwest side), or The Woodlands (north side) aren't bad.  If you wnat more of an artisitic side and younger crowd then Rice Village and Westheimer are centrally located to a very chill scene.  I lived in the south of Houston in Clear Lake becuase it was laid back and right on the water with lots to do.

CNN's Money (money.cnn.com) lists Powell OH, as #18 in the top 100 Best Places to Live.\n\nI suggest you look at their site, and use schoolmaters.com for quality of schools.\n\nHere's the money.cnn.com link:\nhttp://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/index.html\n\nHave fun with the move!

Go to the nearest primary school and talk to the parents of some Kindergartners they may be able to tell you of some good preschools.  \n\nCall all of the preschools in your area and go to visit them and you will get a "vibe" while you are there as to what kind of a place it is. Good Luck : )

One of my very best friends got a degree in University Of Washington and he really enjoyed it!  The people are friendly and Seattle is a great place for outdoor and also cultural things.  I have been to Seattle many times and it is a wonderful place, you may want to check it out before you apply!  As for the classes and professors, well there are surely good and bad ones!  Good Luck!

Levittown school district is great. The traffic is not that bad, and crime is very very low in our area. However, houses in nassau county usually run realllly high. its expensive to live on long island. If you could find a nice single house that fits your budget, i would reccommend moving to levittown. it is a really nice community. im 26 and have lived here all my life. \n\ngood luck in your search // any more questions feel free to email me at jt24ou@yahoo.com

I just went through a similar move a year ago... We have 3 children  all elementary school aged. Try to scope out some of the local parks and hang outs before you go and tell them how cool they sound, try to take them there within the first week of the move. I don't know if you know anyone in that area or not, but we did so, I had her give out invitations to a welcome new friends party....talk to your kids and listen to them... our "big" adjustment period was over within a month. Good Luck.
