We're thinking of moving?

Question

I recently married my long-time boyfriend of many years who just came back from serving two years in Iraq. We're living together in NY renting out a decent apartment. His friend, who is a Sergeant in the Army, is moving and transfering bases to Virginia. My husband and I were there and we fell in love with the state. It's cleaner, people are nicer, expenses are cheaper, schools are better, overall it's a better place. We eventually plan on having kids and we're looking out for our kids' best interest. His friend just bought an apartment in Chester, VA. It seems like a nice place but I know there has to better places. Can anyone suggest a site where I can read more. We're looking for a city with a low crime rate, happy people, good school, and cheap livings (rent, insurance, expenses). Any suggestions or ideas??

Answer 1

Go to the yahoo real estate section, type in chester, VA, and see what houses cost. ...it will give you a ballpark idea of what houses cost. ...nothing beats visiting, however.

Answer 2

I'd move. I'm not a big city person, maybe you are. Everything is just cheaper outside the city and places that aren't so main stream do look a lot prettier and provide and healthier living situation.

Answer 3

I've heard that Missouri is a wonderful place. Stay away from St. Louis, though. Evidently, there was some kind of an accident at their zoo, and millions of chimpanzees escaped. They stayed in the city, I hear.

Answer 4
