i could see us possibly ending up long term in a community like evanston with that hard to find urban/suburban mix, but i wasn't ready to leave the city.
in the 6 months that we've lived in edgewater now, i've really come to LOVE it! so maybe we'll just stay put here for the long haul, who knows?
We're in the same boat and enjoy living in between London and Cambridge. If one can find a market village that has retained it's original charm (we think we did), one can have a pleasant experience around the house, be in central London in 25 mins or in Cambridge in 40 mins.
However, most of the money seems to have also realised this over the last few years, driving prices up quite significantly (roughly 20-fold over the last 10 years!)
