We are considering moving to CT from Jersey City NJ. I'm having trouble concentrating our search for our needs:
Family friendly: Ideally good public schools, nice parks, nice community of families (We have a 3 year old and want more kiddos). Would love a more laid back vibe if possible.
Health concerns: I have chronic illnesses and currently go to NYU. I need to be close to really good doctors. (Take an uber.) Also, I'd love a neighborhood that is more walkable. Driving is hit or miss and I don't want to feel like a shut in if I don't feel good.
I've thought about having an au pair long term to help with driving kids, but I do need some walkability for myself personally and I would love to be able to walk to kid activities.
Commute: My husband needs to commute to Central Park (east side) and Greenwich a time or two a month. 2 hours to NYC would be great, not sure if possible.
Space & Budget: Ideally 4 bedroom, 2,000 sq ft+, would love something in the $1M range but if we wait, we could do up to $2.5M. Less is better.
