My job is remote and my husband would like to stay in kollel for another little bit so it seems like a good time to move. It's important to us that the community have good bais yaakov schooling options (no co-ed classes) and has a relatively lower cost of living - that knocks out Toronto, chicago and other big cities. Big plus if there no income tax (Florida, or Texas maybe?)
Seems like north miami beach might be a good option, any other ideas? |
Where is your family located? A good ideas might be to focus on cities that easy for you to visit connect with family, but besides for that look into Boca, NMB, and Hollywood in Florida; Dallas (Plano) and Houston in Texas; for the Midwest Chicago, Cleveland, South Bend, or Cincinnati would be great options. My advice since your husband doesn't need a paid position with the Kollel maybe find the best community for long term and than speak to the Kollel/ Shuls in those areas to advise what his options will be. Feel free to reach out to me directly since I have worked in the field/ have connections in most cities! Good luck!

If you have school-age children, just make sure to do a lot of due diligence regarding the school options where you move. I live in one of the places mentioned in this thread, and unfortunately a lot of children (and their parents!) are really unhappy in the one available school...

It's a fairly right-wing school, strong kollel community. Having a remote job is very common here, housing can be tight but it usually works out.
Check out the website.

I'm not sure how you define "fairly right-wing". The students are exposed to materials and subjects which I don't think the typical right-wing family, definitely not kollel family, would find acceptable.

Would you move if you can't afford your community?
