Oh, and you also want to put some miles between you and your over-involved family, so a few miles from Denver would be a plus.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad I could see living in VA, but I think I'd rather get a bit away from DC. I'm thinking Richmond maybe... I love Richmond. You got all of that coal mining/trains in West VA and it's beautiful over there. I wouldn't advise Atlanta if you want public school. I think we are either next to last or max, in the bottom 5 when it comes to eduMacashun.

Seems like property for sale is fairly pricey but renting or leasing might be doable. I love that part of the country and if it wasn't so far from Disneyland I might consider moving there oh, and the fact that my ex bought a home there keeps me in the southland.
