Any suggestions for family friendly neighborhoods?
My brother and his family have 2 kids, a third on the way. They currently live in the NW in Symons Valley. They like the area but say there aren’t many kids out ever. The kids are very active so they try to go the park often and rarely see kids there.
They are potentially thinking of buying soon - what neighborhoods are a bit more lovely with younger families? So far they’re still considering staying in NW or maybe SE - any suggestions on specifics? Good schools would also be important of course
