Our Take
The area has good schools and a low flood risk, but its walk score is very low and it relies heavily on a car. Housing prices are high for the median income level, and public transit options are basically nonexistent. If you can drive and are okay with a higher cost of living, it may work; otherwise, look elsewhere.
