I have a friend who lived in Ferndale until she had to move for her husband's job and they loved it there. My son is in preschool with another couple who live there and also love it. They are trying to sell their house as they want to move to a larger one. My friend is an elementary teacher for the Ferndale district. If you are interested in their house, I can have her call you if you send me your number. My e-mail is ____@____.com
My son is in preschool in Ferndale at Ferndale Montessori. I cannot say enough good things about the program. However, it is not cheap.
I really like Ferndale, lots of cute independently owned shops and restaurants. You can take nice walks through the neighborhoods. It seems like there are activities going on during the summer. The location is fantastic. There is a lot of effort right now to make the downtown area even nicer.
