We live in RI, outside of Newport. We have a five bedroom home with a water view (we live on an island). Our yard is just under an acre with mature landscaping. Our town is a bedroom community, very family oriented.
My husbands business partner lives in Coronado and they will select an office 1/2 between our two homes.
I’ve looked at homes in the three areas I mentioned and was *agast* at the selection in our price range ($1M-$1.5M).
Having given this more thought I believe we will select an area that has top notch public schools. I’d love it to be a coastal town but school reputation is more important to me.
