Blogging Windermere

We have been fortunate in our 15 years of cohabitation to have found interesting places to live. Right now we live in beautiful Fort Greene, Brooklyn, its tree-lined streets filled with old brownstones. The street life here is vibrant. Everyone is beautiful and their children are all strong and brilliant. We have lucked out yet again in our newest domicile. In a short while we'll be moving to Montclair, NJ. As native New Yorkers whose adult lives have revolved around city living, this is a giant step in a new direction. But when, for the price of most two bedroom 800 square foot apartments in NY we can have a house with a yard and still go out for Ethiopian food on a regular basis, well, we couldn't pass it up. I'm hoping to chronicle our family's transition from Brooklyn, NY to Montclair, NJ. I understand we are neither the first nor the last family to make this journey. I'm curious to see how my own perspectives will change. I hope this blog is helpful and informative to other urbanites who may be considering this shift.
