Yes, you are correct with using the resources from a wealthy township. No, you need to consider your kids' feeling. If your kids can handle his/her classmates with all the resources for both academic and athlatic, their classmates also have the latest gadgets, fancy clothes, nice cars and skiing holidays in Switzerland during the spring break or vacation home in Mexico.
I believe it's an overkill to consider these many factors in dea
kid's feeling in a public school setting when choose a township you will live in. First of all, I can guarantee you that the majority of the kids who go to a public school in an affluent town are still from so called middle class families (maybe upper quartiles of middle class though). Supper riches will send their kids to private schools. Secondly, most of these kids are very well educated and well behaved and they know better how to deal with other kids. They don't usually show off their riches like what those so-called Chinese "富二代“ do to their peers. So your kids will benefit from being surrended by these kids, not the other way around.
搬到波士顿，打算买自住房，如果一个twon均价1.5m，有个75万的房子卖。这个房子便宜主要是房子只有1700尺，地半亩，但装修其实还不错，房子挂了40天没卖掉，主动降了几万。镇上大多数房子都2500尺以上，地1－2亩以上，居民都是富人，医生，律师，高管什么的。这个小房子在其他镇其实算小豪宅了，关键是很多不错的离波士顿近的镇房子都很破，75万在其他波士顿近郊的好学区只能买1500尺一下装修很破的小黑屋。
主要顾虑是：1.这个房子在镇上垫底，镇上都是富人，会不会生活很压抑。镇上的主要体育设施有高尔夫和马场，这个估计我们也消费不起。2. 镇上华人只有不到10%，其余基本是白人，当初搬到波士顿其实是想在华人多的地方住。
是不是尽管很喜欢这个房子本身，也应该pass？记得大家常说不要买小区垫底的房子，这个房子不光小区垫底，其实全town垫底了。
这种房子应该早被建商买走盖大屋。没卖掉，要不是lot小，地不平，要不就是zoning 问题。不过也许是最近太冷没人看房。如果能加盖装修变成2千多尺，那肯定是亏不了。
住在那少担心该子学坏，学校资源丰富，但有可能小孩有自卑感不愿意请同学来家玩，也可能是让小孩从小要奋斗的教育实例，让小孩知道天外有天，努力学习达到目标。
买房在富人区，结果因为穷小孩在学校（高中）不入群很孤立，不得已一年后在一家庭收入20万学校也不错的区重新买房，小孩在学校里的问题解决了。
烂（低价）房是最好的选择！房子贵的把地税付了，你跟着享受用这些税钱支撑的资源（学校，警察等等），何乐而不为？生活会很压抑纯属是老中的庸俗想法因为老中就爱比富，虚荣的很！老美没那么多事，谁也不会看不起你，人家没那边多的闲工夫去和你比这比那的。人家的学校里孩子也都是家教比较好的，根本不会像中国那些什么富二代的样子。

谢谢大家啦。我比较犹豫是原先在中部住过，去过两个小学，一个亚裔大概15%左右，另一个5%吧，平常看着都挺好，但是那个5%小学虽然评分高，但老师明显不如另一个热情，孩子上学2，3个月也没什么朋友，当然班上只有两个亚裔，还不同性别的。在15％亚裔的学校小孩子明显快乐一些。所以找到机会搬到东部了。可是也同意上面有朋友说的，的确有很多素质高也很友善的白人。让我再纠结纠结。
