The Top 10 Places To Raise Kids

Real Estate Journal --The Top 10 Places To Raise Kids:

"Schiller generated two lists, one that factored in home values and one that didn't. 'We ran the research twice for each metro area, once without including cost at all and the second one with cost, looking for much more reasonably priced areas,' he said.

'That revealed the top choices and the best value communities in each of the U.S.'s top 10 metro areas.'

The following are the top locales for families with children, in each of the 10 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, with cost not a factor, according to Schiller.

• In the Boston metro area: Sudbury, Mass.
  
• In the New York metro area: Manhasset, N.Y.
  
• In the Philadelphia area: Richboro, Pa.
