I was the spouse without the built-in job structure, and that made the move harder than people expected. 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. The first few months were not a fair test. They were setup, loneliness, paperwork, and too many small decisions.
