Not sure if this exists, but I'm hoping we can find it! Our absolute musts are:
1. A sizeable representation within the community of thinking black hat types. People with a strong yeshiva background who aren't uber yeshivish but take learning seriously. A heterogenous mix of people would be great, but this group must be well represented with some sort of community leader (Rav, RY).
2. Excellent schools for boys and girls from elementary through HS. Excellent meaning: well run, strong kodesh and chol curricula on par with the better right wing schools in Brooklyn.
3. A sefardi shul. Please mention the background of the members if you have this information (ie Syrian, Persian, black hat mix etc).

Baltimore certainly comes to mind and definitely meets your first 2 points. They certainly have Sefardi shuls, but hopefully somebody from there can give more detailed info about them. Other options that meet the first 2 points and probably have Sefardi options are Passaic and Edison, and for a more OOT option, look into Houston.

Thanks. Rochester has a sefardi shul? Is the school excellent? IME the further oot schools tend to have a less strong curriculum for whatever reason.

West Rogers Park has the greatest concentration of black hat types. The Sephardic Shul is called Ohel Shalom and its Rabbi is Rabbi Raccah. http://www.ohelshalomchicago.org/ I dont daven there so I would reach out to him and ask him some questions. Hes really fantastic.

There are 2 main options for boys - TI (more yeshivish) and TA (a little less), and 2 for girls - Bais Yaakov (a huge but very well-run community school), and Bnos Yisroel (more yeshivish but smaller and can be hard to get in). People there are very happy with the quality of education, both Kodesh and chol.
