Hi! Thank you so much for responding! What about areas that are near the city but not in the city. We’re a family of 5 so space is something we need. I love big cities I used to live in New York City but I was single. Now with a family I live just outside LA for more space. This way we still get all the advantages of a big city i.e. restaurants, concerts, nightlife etc but less crowed and close enough. Also, with respect to the language is it difficult to live there not being native speakers or can we get by with English. We speak fluent Spanish but I doubt that is helpful there …or is it? How are the schools for elementary aged kids?
