You will never believe this but I am a SAHM of two (1 y/o and a 3y/o) and we are moving at the end of the month to Perrysburg from Indiana. We actually moved away 3 years ago with my husband's company and are now returning. So first of all don't freak out!! It won't be as bad as you think. I could give you tons of advise with as much as we have moved.
The 3 areas you are looking at are great. I can tell you that the best school systems in the area are #1 Ottawa Hills and #2 Perrysburg, which is why we also wanted Pburg. The realtor we used has an excellent website with all the school info on it www.toledoliving.com ~ Nancy is our realtor, but regardless if you use them their website is extrememly helpful. There are also plenty of private schools as well.
If you are looking for spacious I know "The Quarry" in Maumee has some great houses available with probably the space you are looking for as well. I have a friend that lives there and she said there are a few houses that have been on the market awhile. The area has several children and seems to be a friendly area but she is the only one I know.
Either of the three areas would be great. I know that Pburg has always been in high demand b/c of the schools and I know you can get a good deal on houses right now with the economy. Most offers are coming in 20% below asking price.
If you have ANY other questions about the area or relocating, please let me know. This is our 3rd move in 3 years...so I feel like a bit of an expert. You can email me at my personal email of ____@____.com for any more advice. you will have to get a hold of me once you come to town so I can show you around and/or introduce you to others in the area.
I could probably go on for a while, but will stop with this. Please feel free to contact me if I can help any other way. Referring good hotels, stuff to do, realtors.....
Good luck
