Neither area is “better” — they fit different daily lives. Most relocators we talk to already have a sense of which way they lean before the call; what we help with is pressure-testing that lean against the trade-offs that don't show up in a table (actual rush-hour commute on your specific route, what your price point gets you at YOUR target square footage, neighborhood-specific quirks you wouldn't see until you lived there).
