If moving north puts you closer to your doctors that might be considered on the plus side of the move.

Over the years I have lived in multiple places as well as differnet houses. I came up with this....HOME IS WHERE YOU HANG YOUR HAT. You never know what your neighbors will be like wherever you move to and these may move out sometime. Do you deal with the devil you know or the one down the road.

Lots of advice on this thread, about is it a good financial decision, effects on the family, commute time, etc etc...

Here's mine: You should live in a place that makes you happy. Money comes and goes, but every day that you're miserable in a place is a day of happiness that you've missed. You can get more money, you can't get more time.

Do what it takes to make your life happier...

And best wishes to you and your family. ;-)
