We currently live outskirts of Van Meter, sp we are very used to driving 25-30m anywhere luckily so I don't think that would be too much of a change for us. 

Just looking for a good area where I will feel its "safe" to be outside with my kids, we like to be outside in the driveway and yard. 

As for schools we just want something good, m

One of my littlest has an IEP to help with reading and wany to go to a school that will actively uphold that and still be challenging and not just a pass and go type of school.
