It is normal for us to love that which we know. When I was house hunting in IL and MA, I looked at where the schools placed the students as I had small children at that time. Now I am just responsible for where an adult would be happy. When I was parenting I had to take a lot of different things into consideration. I noticed in re reading this thread that someone said that when the last child was out of school, that was the time that a move was planned.

So if you have children think of what their needs are and where those needs can best be met keeping in mind that you and your wife need to be happy and your work environment has to be a good one, etc. It is complicated for sure but nice that you are seeking advice. I happen to know adult children from FL that loved being raised there. I raised mine in MA after moving from IL. I mostly know NH for the lake and the summer and winter fun. I do love it in NH but am not sure how it would be for a family with kids year round. Glad mine are grown!!!! Nice to be able to come and go to different areas of the country for sure. Good luck in deciding what your family needs are and how to get those needs met.
