Monsey. Not bad, being that I have some family close by.
Not being matzliach with income, rent is excruciatingly high. Shopping is at the fingertips, yet expensive.
Having special needs children, there are good funding available, yet no where to use the funding to actually help out my kids. Schools are a challenge to find for HF-ASD DS.

Indiana. Not many amenities, not super pretty, but... it's probably the most affordable place in the US.

Nope, I'm an olah.
Story is long. The short of it is that we found Itamar through visiting good friends. We found here our life purpose, and a wonderful community for us and our kids. So we're pretty pleased.

South Blooming Grove.
Really like it here. We still go back to kj for basically everything. As of now SBG is a bedroom community. But it's about to change. We recently had someone open a grocery (thank you yoel Roth!) And lots of malls and other amenities coming up including a convalescence home....
Only thing that needs to be worked on is schools. Can't wait for those!
Grew up and lived in Williamsburg for a few years as an adult. Liked it while I was there. But I didn't know what I was missing. Then I moved to kj for a few years. I was absolutely miserable. Its a nice place but I lived in a very non private condo and it really was NOT for me. I miss some of my lovely neighbors. The convenient and very frequent public transportation and more.
Were here for a few years already. It's only getting better bh!!!

I'm so happy to see so many people living it up where they live. I live in monsey and hate it. A lot of unfriendly people (where I live) and I always wish I have more people to do outings with, or party , or do anything fun. It's nothing major here at all . A very quiet place. I wish to move to a different city. Now after I saw people mentioning baltomore (not sure if I spelled it correctly) it got me thinking that it might not be a bad idea for us to look into. Is school situation hard to get in there? I'm honestly very miserable in monsey. I don't have family here either, And shabbos and yt is the hardest that I'm always in my house since I have no where to go, never get invited anywhere. I'm wishing to move to a more welcoming , friendlier, community that feels like family.

I live in Baltimore and am very happy here. One downside is that it's not a very lively place. Restaurants close early. But people are so warm and there is a very strong community feel here.

Third for Cincinnati. Would love to get an MO school option here. But other than that, we love the community.

I’m also happy to see so many people who love where they live! I’m not thrilled about living in Brooklyn but there are too many factors keeping us here. I dream of moving to a rural community but it’s unlikely before retirement.

Thanks for chiming in. Nice! How are the neighborhoods? And what do people do in the summer? Is it kid friendly? Do kids play on the streets? Do women have get together? Is it nit hard to get into schools?

Another vote for chicago. I’m really happy with so many things here, especially the schools and living near family.

A different Baltimore amother here (I replied earlier in thread). What do you mean when you ask what do people do in the summer? They work if they have jobs, kids go to camp or stay home. I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking about the culture where people go away for the summer - no BH, that's not a thing here.
Kids can't play in the street, cars drive in the street. Kids shouldn't be playing in the street anywhere.
Schools are mostly community based and we don't have the games you see in the other cities, so there is none of this "the right school for my type" here. But also, the schools are all pretty good, so you really can't go wrong anywhere. The tricky part is if you have a kid who has learning or behavior needs. The schools work with learning needs, not so much with severe behavior issues.
The neighborhoods - everyone lives with everyone else and for the most part our schools are very mixed just like the blocks. And we like it that way.
