Our Take
Sandy offers solid schools and a moderate cost of living with a low flood risk, but it’s a car‑dependent suburb with limited public transit and nightlife. If you’re a family or a commuter who values good schools over walkability, it can work. If you rely on sidewalks or want a more vibrant urban feel, look elsewhere.
