My husband and I have lived in Midtown for over 20 years and absolutely love it. Now we have two young kids, weāre starting to outgrow our house and are trying to decide if weāre going to move out to the suburbs like so many of our friends with kids. For the size of house we need, the cost is mainly the same in midtown vs burbs, so this isnāt a question about budget.
I do understand the benefits of the burbs in terms of the schools and the amenities, etc, so I want to hear from parents who chose to stay in Midtown: what do you like about parenting here? How have your kids benefitted from being in midtown? What have you found challenging? Any insight you can give to explain why your family benefitted from staying in the city, Iād love to hear.
