So it seems that we may be considering the west side after all, because there's really nothing over here in the NE that is in our price range with the number of bedrooms that we want (4). Rio Rancho is simply too far of a commute for my DH's job, so that is out, but we are looking at areas in the NW, in either Cibola or Volcano Vista high school districts.
I would definitely appreciate any input you (or your friends who live in the area) have about these schools, as well as any specifics about neighborhoods, etc. I know the high schools are important, but since my kids are all younger I'm specifically interested in elementary schools as well. Since we live in the NE Heights now, we really don't know much about the west side at all, so any information is good.
This is not really time-critical or anything but we are hoping to ramp up the house search after the new year so I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row before that. Thanks again.
