Pro/Con

I'm having a Rory Gilmore moment - it's pro/con list time!

Matt and I are thinking about buying a house, which means moving. We are looking in Buckley, Kingsley, Interlochen and Traverse City... There are pros and cons in each city. And this is where I will be listing them!

Buckley
PROS:
1. Keith Stays in the same school and keeps his friends
2. We like the town
3. It's only a short trip from our doctor's office
4. It's in between Cadillac and Traverse so I could get a job in either city
5. We are not far away from a wonderful daycare provider
6. We trust the after school care provider near Keith's school

CONS:
1. It's in the middle of two cities, but it's still a far drive to town
2. Propane gas - need I say more?
3. Ace Communications - Boo!

Kingsley
PROS:
1. Great schools
2. Central location
3. Inexpensive housing
4. Has amenities close by

CONS:
1. Don't know the area
2. Propane gas
3. Unknown utility companies
4. Have to move Keith away from school and friends
5. No clue about any daycares in the area

Interlochen/TC
PROS:
1. Know and love the area
2. Close to the cottage
3. Good schools
4. Amenities in town
5. Natural Gas
6. High speed internet

CONS:
1. Longer trip to doctors office
2. Have to move Keith away from school and friends
3. Daycare unknown
