Personally, I love our town. LOVE. The houses are cute and comparable, the taxes are way lower, crime is pretty much nil, and there tends to be more land/lot here.
The schools are... not bad. They are not great, although there has been progress. The town just overwhelmingly passed a tax override to build a brand new (sweet) high school opening in 2013. One of the elementary schools is a "needs improvement" school and the other is not, it's okay. BUT, dang, 4 miles away is one of the two best school systems in the whole valley, and that's hard to pass up since we're not exactly the type of folks who can afford private school.
