Representation helped, but it did not automatically create friendship. We still had to show up repeatedly and build community. Diversity, school ratings, train access, and house size do not always line up neatly, so every family ends up choosing a trade-off. My advice is to rent or stay flexible at first if you do not fully understand the area yet. I would still make the move, but I would prepare with more cash cushion, more patience, and fewer fantasies.
