We Put it On Hold!

We've probably seen about 15 apartments by now. 3 condos on Ocean Ave, 1 on Myrtle, 3 on Lexington, 1 on Kent, 4 on Greene Ave, 1 dilapidated house and 1 lovely but out of our price range condo in Prospect Heights, another way overpriced house in Sunset Park, a decent 3BR in Park Slope. I guess that makes 16.

But all this time, we've both been having difficulties envisioning raising our kids here in Brooklyn. What will their school days be like? We've heard a lot of mixed reviews, leaning towards unsavory, and we know we're in for a lot more research. But since we're not finding anything we're really excited about, and since we're not even sure we want to stay in Brooklyn for the long haul, we've opted to put our Brooklyn searching on hold while we reassess.

That means we're going to take some day trips out of the city to check out the surrounding areas. I'd like to stay north of NYC for the time being, and focus on the lateral band of Westchester, and from river to river. I think NJ would be a last resort, but that's a topic for a whole other post.

As we gather info on schools and where we might want to settle, I'll try and collect it here. Yay!
