Considering a Move from Canada to Dallas Suburbs — Best Areas for Families?
Posted by Playful_Ad4511@reddit | askdfw | View on Reddit | 49 comments
We’re a family currently living in Oakville, Ontario (Canada) and are seriously considering moving to the Dallas area in the next couple of years.
I run a tech business, have two kids (elementary/middle school age), and we’re trying to understand what areas would realistically fit our lifestyle long term.
Our priorities are:
- Very safe family-oriented suburbs
- Strong public schools
- Good environment for kids activities/sports
- Access to golf, cycling, running, triathlon-type outdoor activities
- Warm weather compared to Ontario
- Good Indian/international community is a plus
- Prefer newer, cleaner, well-planned areas
- Budget is flexible, but we still care about value
The areas that keep coming up are:
- Frisco
- Prosper
- Southlake
- Plano
- Coppell
- Flower Mound
- Allen
Would love honest opinions from people actually living there:
- Which areas feel the safest day-to-day?
- Which suburbs have the best overall quality of life for families?
- Are there areas locals would strongly recommend OR avoid?
- How bad is summer heat really for outdoor life?
- If you moved from another state/country, what surprised you most?
Also curious how Dallas suburbs compare to places like Raleigh/Cary NC for long-term family life.
One more thing we’re trying to understand is realistic income expectations for these areas.
For a family with 2 kids wanting:
- a safe neighborhood
- good public schools
- a detached home
- kids activities/sports
- occasional travel
- comfortable but not ultra-luxury living
what household gross income would you consider:
- “comfortable”
- “very comfortable”
- “upper-end” lifestyle
in places like Frisco, Prosper, Southlake, Plano, etc.?
Appreciate any insights, especially from families with kids or people who relocated recently.

I love my home state. Right now, I'd rather be here in North Texas than anywhere else. But that's because I grew up here, this is where my family is, and it's known to me. Texas is hard to love. I never really had much choice in whether it was home. It can be beautiful, but also cruel.
If you have to move to Texas, make it Austin, or San Antonio. Definitely more interesting cities than anything in the DFW. But mostly? I wouldn't advise coming down here at all right now. The politics are BAD. Abbott and the GOP are devastating the state, especially with our education system right now. They're really leaning into a Christian nationalist approach to governing. And that's not even getting into what's happening on a federal level. I am very concerned, especially for POC and immigrants. It really is something you should keep in mind about coming to the US. I would look into what a lot of people are experiencing when it comes to the immigration system right now in the US. There's hundreds of stories at this point about the experiences of all kinds of people, including those trying to do it the "right" way. AND I would speak to an immigration lawyer NOW, before ever moving down here. Then talk to a different lawyer. Maybe a third for good measure. Get the full story.
I know Canada has its issues. But I am just going to be real with you-- y'all largely have your priorities in better places than the leaders of the US do. I would wait and watch to see what happens on the political scene here in the US, at least through to the midterms, before making any decisions. Apologies for getting political with this, but honestly, if that isn't on your radar, it really needs to be. People can be so RACIST here, and there have been growing anti-South Asian sentiments. These racists are road raging Texans in veritable tanks driving 15 over the speed limit and armed to the teeth. Seriously. They will all have guns. Always, ALWAYS assume someone has a gun on them here, because there is a pretty good chance that they do.
So like... be careful. But hey. Texas can be cruel, but it can also be incredible. Like I said, Austin's pretty great. Just too damn expensive.

Hi, We’re Canadian (Indian ethnicity) living in McKinney. Few things I want to point out to you.
1) if you’re North Indian you’re not going to find ‘community’ here. The population is mainly South Indian and not to generalize but I wouldn’t say we are compatible.
2) what your day to day looks like depend entirely on your budget for a home. The closer you are to the city the older/dated your home will be. This means Dallas, flower mound, Plano, parts of Frisco and McKinney are expensive if you’re looking for a new build type home you can show off to your family and friends that all think you’re getting a sprawling estate here for pennies. If you want that luxury-ish sprawling home you need to leave true DFW and into the northern suburbs like prosper, Celina. There you can easily spend 1 mil USD for something to ‘phone home about’
3) everyone comes here thinking they will roll in money once leaving Canada. This is simply not true. If you’re self employed you can imagine your monthly health care premiums can be around $1000 for medium good insurance. And that doesn’t include your deductible. An additional example, my home insurance in Canada was about $900. I pay $6,000 a year here. My property tax in Canada was about $3-4k, my property tax here is $13,000.
Not to mention any money you bring over you’re immediately losing so much on the exchange.
Think about it this way - Southlake is like moving to Vaughn (with a lot more money, churches, no diversity, and racism).
Frisco/prosper/Allen/irving is like Brampton but with South Indian people. Solid schools and solid homes though because the population is generally high income.
Flower mound and coppell are bit more mixed like Mississauga.
IF you decide to come, I highly recommend you rent before you buy. DO NOT buy immediately.
Appropriate_Yak7020@reddit
This is pretty good summary. It’s fun seeing this topic in a DFW thread!
I grew up in Mississauga and live in Allen. I would say Allen is similar to Mississauga. Not yet Brampton level 😃 more diversity than frisco and prosper.
South lake is like Oakville.
Totally agree on the rent first even for half year.
I do think it’s quite a financial bump to move from Toronto to DFW. The salary will be higher, the housing is cheaper, the cost of living is cheaper, way less income tax even tho property tax is higher. At least you’re not paying 40-50% tax 😪
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
This is actually super helpful because you’ve lived in both environments.
Interesting that you describe Allen as similar to Mississauga and Southlake closer to Oakville — that honestly paints a clearer picture than most ranking websites do.
One thing we’re trying to understand is whether people eventually feel more “settled” in DFW long term, or whether many Canadian families continue feeling somewhat disconnected from the broader community compared to the GTA.
Also curious from your perspective:
And yes, the lower income tax definitely looks attractive on paper, although we’re quickly realizing the cost structure just shifts around rather than disappearing entirely.
Bubbly_Question7114@reddit
Rereading my message and it comes off a little mean. Sorry! We truly love living here, we definitely miss our community and family but we don’t regret the move. I LOVE when it’s 25 degrees out on Christmas Day. We have a beautiful backyard with a pool we can use almost year round. You can always go home if it doesn’t work out is what I told myself!
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
Honestly, this was one of the most insightful replies in the thread because you translated DFW into GTA terms in a way that immediately made things easier to visualize.
And no worries at all, your follow-up actually made the perspective feel more balanced and genuine.
The “you can always go home if it doesn’t work out” mindset is honestly how we’re trying to approach this too. We’re not looking for some fantasy “perfect place,” just trying to understand the real tradeoffs.
A few things I’d genuinely love your perspective on after making the move:
And yes, renting first definitely seems like the smartest advice we’ve consistently received.

Lived in Plano, friends in Frisco/Coppell/Flower Mound. Quick honest takes:
Income reality for your profile: $300-400K household gets you a very comfortable life in any of these. $200K is doable but tighter in Southlake/Frisco. $150K starts to feel constrained at the homes you'd want.
On heat: it is genuinely a 4-month limitation on outdoor activities. Triathlon training in DFW summer means 5am workouts or treadmills.
Compared to Raleigh/Cary: Raleigh has milder summers, better weather year-round, but smaller Indian community and less of a tech ecosystem.
latinobombshell@reddit
Realtor here - looking at what you’re worried about and want out of your home, I highly recommend you rent. And if you do it really sounds as if you should rent in Prosper/Frisco.
Before making a huge financial decision, this sounds like it would be best for you and your family.
Aggressive-Newt1634@reddit
Please, for the sake of your children, stay in Canada.
Icy_Acanthisitta3845@reddit
What are you nuts, lol...I was born in Dallas, but have lived in Plano most of my life. My dream is to move to Canada! Wish we could trade places 😃
Spare-Transition-771@reddit
Depends on your style of raising a family. And income. I gonna assume you aren’t a billionaire. You want neighbors or you want land and isolation?
Most Texas are helpful when you ask. We don’t have the façade of public niceness like Canadians but if you truly need help, Texans go to distance unlike Canadians.
Dallas especially south and pockets of central and west Dallas have high crime low income folks.
Forth worth tends to have less crimes but avoid north east areas. Unfortunately, you live in an apartment complex; .There tend to be more crime in apartments than if you were living in a house.
You want friendly helping neighbors The Colony middle to high income.
If homeschool your kid (one parent at home) then any area is fine.
If you don’t want Neighbors buy any place where you have acre or more land and build or has a house on it.
By income
Less then 70k usd per year town home or apartment in Allen, plano, mckinney frisco. You want either live north of Dallas or south of Forth worth For the better schools and neighborhoods.
100k-150k plus you can buy an older home closer some areas or new homes near farmland far from buisness activities
200-500k buy a new home anywhere or old home (remodel) in a fancy area.
Places like Preston Hollow / Highland park homes are pricey but not a lot of parks in walking distance and possible airport noises. Fort Worth Monticello/ river rest is fancy and have n parks near by. Tcu west cliff pricey but near university tcu.
There are places like plano, mckinney that have very nice parks within walking housing areas.
DFW has scattered business areas and are not centered around downtown like most Canadian cities. We are one of the biggest metroplex. Takes 2 hours from one extreme end to another by car driving.
East plano. Or Allen around watter creek area. For plano you get schools without the keeping up the jones feel of west plano or crazy HOA fees.
Dallas proper your income is 500k- 1 million USD or higher. Because you need to pay for Private school (grade 9-12 is most pricey at 30-40k /year. ) 15-30k for lower grades.
I purposely choose NOT to live in areas where people show their house wealth. But safe and good schools like plano, Allen, Mckinney, Frisco. To me east plano and Allen is best. I don’t want to keep up with the jones or neighbors. I am fortunate enough to send kid to private school even though access to great public schools.
babyitsgoldoutstein@reddit
Frisco is an Indian ghetto. My 2nd grader's class is all Indian. 100% Indian. I bet 60% of which are Telugu speaking. Your kids will end up being completely Indian having Indian accents. I didn't sign up for this but I am now stuck as older kids don't want to move. Anyway, if you want lots of Indian stores and restaurants, Frisco is the promised land. Think Brampton but higher iq.
Outsiders are also agitating a lot online against Frisco. I haven't faced any racism in person but online the hate is strong against Indians. It doesn't help that we do our festivals openly and generally just act like we aren't here to assimilate at all.
Substantial-Part-700@reddit
Hi OP - I moved to DFW from the GTA a few years ago but I’m of Pakistani descent, not Indian.
As others have said, the main hubs for Indians here are Frisco and Irving/Las Colinas, BUT they are primarily South Indians with different languages, food, and customs from North Indians (as I’m sure you’re well aware). TBH, coming across Punjabis/Paharis/UPites/Biharis/etc here is rather rare compared to Canada.
If you’re not bigoted against Muslims, you might find yourself more at home in quieter, more “diverse” (i.e. not 90% brown people like Brampton and Surrey) cities like Wylie, Murphy, or Sachse - where we have a Sikh guy running for a city council spot btw. These areas (by my guesstimation) have more Pakistanis than Indians, but would probably be a better culture fit for you in terms of grocery stores, restaurants, etc. All these cities have fantastic schools as well.

The summer heat is worse than you can imagine. Like you won’t want to be outside during the hours of 8am and 8pm… especially doing any activities.
Archgate82@reddit
I’ve lived a lot of places and Dallas heat has never been intolerable to me. The humidity is nothing here compared to Houston. Point being, it just depends on your preference.
Texas22@reddit
Everything’s relative. I’ve lived in more humid places than Dallas, but that doesn’t mean Dallas doesn’t feel like a swamp to me. My point was that if Op is expecting to do outdoor activities during Summer days, it’s gonna be hhhhhot.
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
I was born and raised in North India so heat is familiar to me. If it's humid hot that maybe different.
Texas22@reddit
Very very humid.
travelingjay@reddit
For someone so focused on education as a priority, why are you considering DFW? Education here was already not great, but Abbott's policies are making it dramatically worse. We're routinely in the bottom 20% of the nation. Schools are closing as the population is dwindling on top of that. I've been here since 2006, in Allen, and unless my kid had a very real shot at the NFL, I wouldn't deliberately move to the area. Also, there's an anti-Indian and anti-Muslim groundswell building in the Dallas suburbs that shouldn't be taken lightly. It's shocking and scary how comfortable people are with being vocal about it.
Also, while DFW is a very busy international airport, the fact is that it's solely a hub for American Airlines, so competition is minimal, which drives up fares. Southwest flies out of Love, but they're primarily domestic, and degrading. They haven't been effective competition against American since the Wright Act was lifted. Someplace like DC, where United, Delta, and AA all compete with international carriers will give you much more freedom for travel.
All that said, of the places you listed, Southlake probably has the best academics, highest cost of living, and amongst the highest levels of racism in the area. Allen and Frisco would probably be your best balance. Plano goes from good to bad schools pretty easily. Of the districts you mentioned, I'd only consider those three and maybe Lovejoy.
Or move closer to 635/Dallas and go private, like Hockaday.
Actual_Mission_8044@reddit
Are you dual citizen? That is super cool that you can just up and move to another country
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
Nope. I am not. I run a tech company and I would like to move via L1A visa by opening a branch.
Actual_Mission_8044@reddit
I think if you want “newer” areas you’ll find that around all those places, but I feel like Frisco has the most investment at the moment. It is getting a lot of headquarters and amenities, like universal for kids. You can’t go wrong without any on those list though.
FabulousBullfrog9610@reddit
there is solid racism and hatred towards some Indians in this are. I would stay in Canada. the US is not a healthy place to raise kids
Love_Vigilantes_586@reddit
Frisco, Prosper, Plano would be my picks based on your list. Frisco and Proser are newer and the Indian community is solid. Upper-middle class, safe, great availability to sports and programs. Depending on what kind of home you buy and how much you loan, you can be comfortable at $120k at $2800 mortgage that includes tax and insurance. I know that may not be feasible these days, but doable. I live in Plano with 2 kids about to go to middle school and other still in elementary, single household income. It's affordable for $100k+ earners. I'm also a mortgage banker if you need anything. Welcome to NTX
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
Really appreciate the detailed perspective, this is super helpful.
Interesting that you still consider Plano affordable and practical for families even compared to Frisco/Prosper. From outside Texas, it’s hard to tell whether Plano is viewed as “older but established” versus “past its prime,” so local perspective helps a lot.
A couple of things I’d love your honest take on:
And yes, the Indian community + youth sports infrastructure is definitely a major plus for us.
Love_Vigilantes_586@reddit
Plano is more mature than Frisco. Student enrollment in Plano is hurting and they closed 4 schools last year, but Frisco is already expecting a decline of ~7000 students by 2029, so they are accepting inter-district transfers from other districts to address this.
Plano is still desirable, but not as affordable for younger families unless you look East of 75. Frisco is the same way, but you have more options for newer homes. I would consider Prosper still in its infancy but will rapidly grow in the next 10 yrs just as Frisco has in the early 2000s.
With young kids, I would go to Frisco/Prosper, maybe North of Main or ElDorado.
Plano has been desirable since the 80s and they keep the infrastructure and amenities well maintained.
I think overall if you stay north of Spring Creek in Plano, you will be fine. Indian community is strong all the way up to Prosper ☺️
I grew up in North Texas, so I've seen it change, grow, and diversify.
sweetlion7@reddit
Dallas is nice ..with 1 week of snow. But there is not much to see, you cannot drive to a nearby city and visit as Texas is soo big. NC is good in that since, you can visit many nice states during short weekend trips. Other than that Indian community is HUGE in Dallas..esp from South
hango-mango@reddit
Hi OP. Please visit the Frisco Reddit to see the hate going on against Indians. It’s a sad world we live in.
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
Same in Canada. I ignore it now.
hango-mango@reddit
I see, makes sense why’d you post in neighboring cities but skip your top choice directly. Good luck OP!
Buehler_DFW@reddit
I think most of the bigger cities here now have reasonable Indian populations, but mostly Plano frisco and the likes of prosper / Celina.
It gets pretty dang hot here, I won’t lie.
Moved here from the uk 7 years ago. Never gets any more fun when the 100 degrees starts. Most of those areas have good schools.
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
Appreciate the honest perspective, especially from someone who also moved internationally.
The heat is honestly one of the biggest things we’re trying to understand realistically. In Canada, winter can get mentally exhausting, so part of us feels warmer weather would be a huge improvement, but at the same time we don’t want to trade that for 4–5 months of being stuck indoors because it’s too hot outside.
From your experience after 7 years:
And yes, Plano/Frisco/Prosper/Celina seem to keep coming up repeatedly for families, which is reassuring.
Buehler_DFW@reddit
My wife is from flower mound so this was the only place I was going to move, so I can’t offer much other perspective on that.
I’ve got family in Toronto so I’ve experienced a little bit of that winter. It’s very rare we get that level of cold here. February can be pretty chilly and maybe every other year we get snow for a few days but that’s it.
Summer time you mostly stay inside. AC is everywhere. You’re only outside if you go to a lake or someone’s pool, or your own. It’s only “too hot” for like back end of July August and maybe some of September. And it varies year on year. It barely broke 100 last summer. I can’t say I’ve ever been trapped by the heat.
I’ve helped quite a few folks relocate here and I’ve never had any of them mention it be a detriment to their living.
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
That’s actually a really helpful way to frame it.
I think part of what’s difficult to evaluate remotely is the difference between:
In Ontario, winter can sometimes feel gray, limiting, and isolating for months, whereas what you’re describing sounds more like adapting schedules around heat while still having sunshine and normal daily activity.
The fact that people you’ve helped relocate haven’t viewed it negatively long term is reassuring.
Out of curiosity:
JaclynMeOff@reddit
As a nearly life-long Texan, I’m losing my patience with the heat. Yes, last summer wasn’t bad, but the summer before was straight from the pits of hell. We had 50+ days that were over 100 and I believe 26 that were over 105. And that 5 degrees makes a difference. It was also drier than a bone that year.
And while it’s obnoxious to say, the heat’s only the half of it. The humidity is what makes it truly awful. Nights can still be damn near 90 because the of the humidity. It gets so heavy.
I’m not trying to bum you out, but I’d hate for people so used to it to undersell it.
Buehler_DFW@reddit
I mean most people move here for work purposes. I don’t know if it’s somewhere that others would desire more than any other state.
It has its upsides for sure. Flower mound is a very nice area. I won’t be leaving here for a long time. Very safe, friendly people, great schools. Central location in the metroplex and close to the airport.
Southlake is also very nice, great schools, southlake town center is very nice and again close proximity to the airport. It’s a little more pricey than FM but that makes for a very nice area.
NoExplanation8595@reddit
I lived in Cary/apex area for 26 years and live in Southlake now. Southlake is the most expensive suburb on your list with most homes starting over 1.2m. You can buy nice for much less in the other areas but Southlake but they don’t feel the same. The southlake Carrol school system is elite and is the biggest draw for affluent families into this area. The areas extremely safe, lots of shopping and very close to the airport with a general central proximity in the metroplex. The Indian population in Southlake is low compared to all of the other suburbs you listed but they exist! My neighborhood has 8 wonderful families alone.
The triangle area in NC is super nice, the mountains are 3 hours away and beach is 2, neither of which you’ll get in dfw. There is a lot more to do in dfw, it’s more diverse and you’re local to dfw airport which is light years ahead of rdu international,great for anybody in business or just traveling often.
melalovelady@reddit
The Southlake school district also has had a lot of issues with racism and moms for liberty types on the school board. So if you’re white and affluent, sure.
NoExplanation8595@reddit
I think a couple stories got over blown a few years ago. Im actually of Indian decent as well as my wife, we aren’t worried about it. The minority population is a decent size here.
melalovelady@reddit
Also if you google Southlake Carroll ISD controversy and the first thing that comes up is the federal civil rights violations. Followed by the anti LBGTQI+ violations. If someone tells me they’re anti LGBTQ, I can bet that also means they don’t like other minorities.
melalovelady@reddit
“Overblown” like yelling the N word at prom?
NoExplanation8595@reddit
Things happen everywhere, if I let isolated racism dictate where I went in life, I’d just be living in a bubble. The schools are fine
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
This is incredibly helpful, especially since you’ve lived in both Cary/Apex and Southlake.
A lot of what you described about Southlake is exactly what attracts us — safety, schools, airport connectivity, overall quality of life — but we’re also trying to understand the “day-to-day feel” beyond stats and rankings.
A few things I’d genuinely love your perspective on:
And yes, DFW airport + overall business connectivity is a huge factor for us as well.
NoExplanation8595@reddit
Day to day is quality. We both worked hard to afford this type of area and feel like we got what we paid for. Southlake town square has most of everything you’d need, if it’s not there then it’ll be on Southlake Blvd. There are no apartments in Southlake so some of the riff raff that comes with that doesn’t exist (I’m not trying to sound uppity). When you drive around, you’re seeing mansions and exotic vehicles for the most part. If that’s the feeling you’re looking for then you’d love it. People in the area are fit and active, I’m generalizing obviously but a lot of this is in comparison to the area I lived in prior to Southlake (Bedford, Tx). There’s a large nature preserve with wooded trails. Lifetime fitness is close by in colleyville which is a big bonus to me.
It feels welcoming, when we walk our dogs in the morning, everybody says hello and smiles. We are not the neighborhood social butterfly types so we generally keep to ourselves, however it has been pleasant. We are both Indian.
The triangle is a noticeably slower paced area but you get a similar feeling in the suburbs of dfw. Raleigh vs Dallas proper are completely opposite. Dallas feels like a big city where Raleigh feels small and more homey. Fort Worth feels closer to Raleigh.
Durham sucks.
Summer heat can be tough but the last couple of summers were not so bad. I’d say it’s on avg 7 degrees warmer throughout the year compared to Raleigh (I’m always comparing the two on the weather app)
Since our daughter is brown, I’d always chose dfw over the triangle for that reason. The Indian/middle eastern population here is HUGE. I did all my schooling in NC and dealt with plenty of racism, often feeling alienated. It’s probably not as bad now since the area has grown. My wife grew up in dfw (Carrollton) and did not have any experiences like I had, She was actually surprised anything like that could happen. I’m 38 and she’s 32 to give you a time frame to work off of.
I don’t know if you’re into pro sports or not but dfw runs laps around the triangle in terms of sports. Every pro team is here, Raleigh had hockey and soccer.
I don’t think Raleigh is the wrong choice but from what you’ve described, dfw makes more sense.
melalovelady@reddit
To answer the Indian question, absolutely not. They’ve had a LOT of issues with racism that goes unchecked because the school board is packed with MAGA/moms for liberty types.
If you are Indian, I recommend Frisco, prosper, or McKinney. There’s a high population in these cities and lots of Indian restaurants, stores, etc. the white people there complain about having to be the minority for once, but ignore them. The city councils and school boards there have great representation for Indians which is great - you know they have your best interest at heart.

Southlake/Colleyville/ are both central to Dallas/Fort Worth and check all the boxes. Flower Mound is nice too but I like the dining choices in Southlake/Colleyville better.
Personally I’d stay away from frisco/plano bc you live like sardines, mostly despite any budget. Allen is far from much of anything.
I moved here less than a year ago. Be prepared for the schools to be a bit lackluster (despite scores) and for things to be fairly pricy. It’s not the north Texas of ten years ago. We ended up spending about $500k over what we wanted to to get what we wanted.
Playful_Ad4511@reddit (OP)
This is incredibly helpful because that “day-to-day feel” is honestly hard to understand remotely.
The “sardines” comment about Frisco/Plano is interesting because from online research they seem almost universally recommended, but it’s difficult to tell whether they feel more like dense high-growth suburbs versus genuinely spacious long-term family communities.
A few things I’d love your perspective on:
Really appreciate the honest insight.
f10w3r5@reddit
Our initial budget was about $1.6m and we struggled to find something in Frisco that checked all our boxes (which is obviously subjective). Either interiors were older and in need of major updates or we were missing a pool (which we considered a must have) or the houses were so close together that you could basically touch your neighbors with arms reached out. Also, I commute into downtown Dallas daily (tech company) and the commute was absolutely miserable.
We ended up upping our budget, bought in the Colleyville area and got everything we wanted. Beautiful fully renovated home, 5 br, about 6k sq ft, really nice pool and outdoor kitchen, in a nice private lot in a gated community. Schools rate incredibly well and I’m about a ten minute drive from all the Southlake restaurants. Neighbors are all mostly business owners or execs.
Frisco for me was just very crowded. The Homes, the traffic, all just a bit too much. I also wanted to buy a bit closer to the airport as I travel a lot. I’m 15 mins from the airport and 35 minutes from downtown Dallas.
Specific to the schools - I just feel like compared to where we were before (northeast US) they are a bit behind academically. Just our feeling.
