For the USA, I would say a rural community within a hour's drive of a major airport/city. Near a town with common amenities and a public school with community expectations that all kids will go on to some form of higher education.
Of course, my version of best is just what I think is best for my kids and you are free to hold a differing opinion.
- allears 3y agoI live in just such a place. It's called Ukiah CA. I'm a granddad who is privileged to watch his grandkids grow up in a place like this. And since I'm older and no longer interested in the rat race, it works extremely well for me too. Anyway, amenities are pretty darn good here, and world-class within an hour or two's drive. I will say, however, that health care is a problem. Fewer and fewer providers want to build their career in a small town where fees and salaries are markedly less than in a large urban area.
