I would be glad to assist you in your relocation efforts. You can find detailed information on the schools here:
http://www.republictitle.com/outbound/ResGuide/2009scores.pdf. You can use this as a reference when reviewing homes, because even though a district may have a rating as acceptable, some schools are exemplary.
As far as buying a new home or older home, it is entirely up to you. You can find plenty of both, it ultimately depends on what your needs truly are and what is available. It would help us to know your minimum requirements such as bedrooms, square footage, price range, etc.
The property tax in Grapevine is currently 2.27% and Keller is 2.56%. While the property tax here is higher, it is important to note that it is offset by a lack of state income tax.
The areas in general are both great. It depends upon your preferance. It is also important to note that the DFW airport is in Grapevine, so if air traffic is bothersome to you then you may lean towards Keller.
If I can assist you further, you can reach me at 817-726-9663.
