> You really can’t go wrong

That is great to hear. Ending up in a "wrong" area is what I am/was concerned about.

I think if you stick to those towns, you’ll come look at houses and get a feel for the neighborhood and find one you like. It’s not like there are beautiful neighborhoods in those areas with secretly bad schools.

For what it’s worth, I’m a teacher (though not in either of those towns) and teachers here are well compensated. I would gladly work in either of those school districts. Happy teachers = happy students who feel cared for and are more ready to learn.

Word!!

I feel at ease now knowing that overall it is a good area and not like I have to find a decent place while avoiding a ton of areas!! My wife and I are looking forward to our new England adventure.
