Funny, while so many in this community... I think it's easy to overlook that aspect, people are focused on the upsides and it doesn't even occur to them they might not have any neighbors under sixty. I'm not sure wealth is the key barrier. Rather, if a parent ranks school quality & neighborhood playmates highly when buying a house, they will wind up close to good schools. I've seen this in action myself- I lived all over the place, rural, urban, suburban, for ten years and saw virtually no children. Then I moved within sight of a good school, and now kids of all ages are a constant presence outside. Quite a few of my neighbors could easily afford to live in a lavish rural mountain mansion, but have told me point blank they live here for their kids.
