New city, rented first, bought very close to DS' school. If we lived elsewhere and I knew what I kow about how well gifted is handled here, I would move even cross country for it. But I'd want to be very confident about a situation before I pulled the trigger. DS was in the school almost a year before we moved closer.

Advice:
Try it before you buy it.

You've read enough here to kow there are so many ways it can go sour for kids who are much further out. You also have to account for middle school and then high school.
