Reply to comment by RadiantAd3776 in Advice on where to move. Excited to move my family from Oklahoma to Massachusetts but need help narrowing down towns :) by RadiantAd3776

We knew beforehand it would be somewhere in western Mass. because of the proximity to my new job (professor at a university in a small town). We settled on the Forest Park/Longmeadow area because of the school my kids will be attending (we're Jewish). I did visit once and I loved it! Technically our house is in Springfield but it's right by the line that separates Springfield/Longmeadow and our kids' school is in Longmeadow.

I went up over Labor Day weekend and looked at about 7 houses and put an offer down that weekend. Our budget is very limited but we were still able to get a nice 4-bed house for 250. I think with a budget like 600 you should be able to get a great place in that area, just based on what I saw!

That is soooo good to know! We’re in Broken Arrow right now and the move cannot come soon enough. I think we will probably have one visit before we move as well so we’ll have to narrow down and make a decision quickly. Would love to hear how you like it and any advice once you’re settled!!
