Here is what I'm looking for, does it exist, and if so where?
1. must be able to sit short call from home
2. <$650k
3. 3000+ SF, garage, with an unfinished basement
4. good high schools
5. low crime
My guess is this place doesn't exist but if it does I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks!
Southern CT is probably your best bet to start looking. Make sure you factor in taxes (income, real estate, sales, cars, and everything else they can find to tax) in your cost of living.
If you decide to move there, I'd recommend reading Marx to get you acquainted with the culture.
But it is pretty country.
