We’re a black family looking to move to an area with a great high school – one that has some diversity. Looking for a great upscale apartment first – to get the lay of the land before settling on an area for home purchase. Would the Raleigh-Durham area have better possibilities? Please help!
To clarify, I’m familiar with school websites, rental websites, etc. What I’m really looking for is insight into the quality of life in the area: are there families – parents of a young african american teen(s) attending high school that could shed some light on the school their child(ren) attend – pros and cons?Safety; school environment, neighborhood environment, etc?
One can research and view photos and virtual tours all day long, however, I’d like to hear from someone actually living in the area and get first-hand thoughts and advice if possible.
Relocating to another state can be so much easier when you’re armed with good information – especially with a 14-year-old son who will be starting all over again making friends and becoming involved in a new school and neighborhood.
Thanks in advance for sharing any helpful advice!
