Have 2 grown children, and 1 who is 17 going to college, 2 grandchildren and 2 dogs. I would like more information about Texas, as I have lived in FL and GA most of my life, thinking about a job transfer there...
Have friends, family from Austin, Corpus Christi and North Dallas- but no one is familiar with south of Dallas area.....
We are not interested in night life, hate stand still traffic in ATL., don't like the "cluster homes" that builders love to build.
Love history, charm and vintage anything.
I love gardening, redecorating and spending timewith my family and friends.
Yes, schools are important, but from experience here and Fl, they are subject to change in short amounts of time also and the more influx of people, the more changes and not always for the best.
I have seen that the Lancaster area is not a great "statistical" place to be.......

THANK YOU so much for answering!
First off, while I know about the crime stats, I KNOW that my zip code is WRONG! So, I am not willing to trust the internet resources on that and things change so frequently- 2 years ago, our neighbor hood wasn't bad, then it got really bad, now it's on the upswing- all in 2 years time.
That really presents a problem for buyers, that no one can discuss the areas-
I have found many homes that I love! and the "statistics" are the same as here (which is my problem with that, or are they?) But, I seriously LOVE the historic homes and I need more information about taxes and such there, as we have state, county, city and sales tax- they love us here in GA......
So,
Thank you! - Tue Aug 5 2008, 10:26
