Looking into possibly relocating from NJ to a nice out of town community. Must have good schools through high school for boys and girls. We are modern I wear pants and want to feel
Comfortable. Not that everyone is like me but that everyone is accepting of everyone.
Is housing and tuition much cheaper out of town? Because that’s a deal breaker. I would need this to be a financially life changing move to do it. Currently my dh makes $160k can we live nicely out of town on that salary??
Does such a thing exist?
Any and all thoughts welcome

Yes! Check out Detroit. Centrally located geographically, with beautiful communities in the YI of Oak Park and YI of Southfield neighborhoods. Google both shuls to see their websites, as well as Farber Hebrew Day School. Good luck!!

Look into Atlanta. There are a few MO Shuls in the Toco Hills area, and Atlanta Jewish Academy is an MO school that goes through 12th grade.

Silver Spring and Philadelphia both seem like they'd fit your description.

I'll second Houston and Atlanta. For either one, make sure to settle in a decent neighborhood.

Check out salaries in your field in whatever area you look at-- unless he can take his job with him, if cost of living is lower, salaries are often also lower.

Silver spring
Fabulous Hebrew academy
Co-Ed , pants etc
Tuition may be pricey
Also: Torah school and Yeshiva if greater Washington
Most moms do not wear pants but everyone is welcome
Great school
Not co-ed

I have to say I am glad I asked here because to me I always thought of silverspring as right wing yeshivish which for me the pants wearer would not fit.
What neighborhoods in silvespring are more modern?
Any ideas on housing prices?

If the job is truly portable, why not Israel? Housing will be expensive, but you'll save on tuition.

We just closed on a house on Southfield on Friday lol. Insane! For about a third of the price of a crappy house NYC. The housing prices are great.
We went to Detroit a few times before settling on Southfield and it’s a beautiful suburban neighborhood. The scary parts of Detroit are far away from where the Jewish communities are. So far everyone I’ve met has been so friendly and welcoming.
Tuition is the same as what I’m currently paying in NYC but they have a tuition incentive program that’s new for this coming up year - call Farber Hebrew Day School for more information about this. Hopefully it’s still running with all this corona drama going on!
We have to move to Detroit for my husbands new job but we couldn’t be happier or more excited about the move!
