Coming from Boro Park, we are considering a move to Inwood or a similar community in the Five Towns.
We grew up Chassidish but want to make a lifestyle change for reasons I shall not mention here We are a serious, frum family of six ( two adults, four kids) not bummy at all.
We would love to try a community on Shavuos to see if it's the right fit for our family. Where can we rent an appartment/ hotel within Eruv/ or someone with a hachnosas orchim basement?
We are dying to move to a place with a warm, out of town feel, with a strong accepting community. We would love to experience being part of an accepting warm shul.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Given that you want a community with an out of town feel, why do you think 5 towns would be a good fit?
I'm not bashing the 5t, but it's as IN TOWN as you get.

I would suggest reaching out the shul in the community and explain your situation, and hopefully they'll be able to place you for sleeping and meals in the community, which would also give you a better feel for it than staying in a hotel. Another option would be trying to find somebody there through Shabbat.com.

Yes.
As someone who has done this quite a few times, you need to reach out to the shul in the community you are considering a move to. Most shuls in small communities have an outreach committee, and they can place you with families to sleep at and eat with.
Although, isn't Shavuot a really bad time to do this? Stuck with strangers for three days, six meals. Why don't you try a shabbos instead?
It's an extremely overwhelming process with lots of emotional, mental and physical activity involved.

Yes, I meant BayswAter, not Inwood.
We don't want to impose on a host for an entire Shavuos- I would bring my own meals, only go for a meal or two, and go to Shul to get a sense of the community. Which is why I prefer to rent an appartment or stay in a basement.
Who would I contact for bayswater?
