Glen Allen, VA
Quality of Living with Young Children -
7/29/2007Glen Allen is an excellent place to raise young children. There are many good local parks one with a small zoo. There is an excellent botanical garden. The childrens museum is very affordable with lots of activities.
Public schools are very good with less than 10% of kids going private. Test scores are excellent. Good art and music programs. Kindergarten children will be able to read sight word books by the end of the year.
Wide variety of mid level and high end shopping within 10-15min drive. Crate and Barrel, Macys, Nordstrom, Bed Bath & Beyond, Sears, Marshalls, WalMart, Home Depot all within five minutes
