For many Rookie Roosters, buying that first home is all about finding a good place to raise the kids, and in that regard few things are more important than being able to send the kiddies to a good school. We've researched the best school districts in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, using the rating system on schooldigger.com (turns out ratings for NYC's public schools are a challenge to find), and identified a few potential starter homes on the market for between $200,000 and $800,000 zoned in each of those districts. For Manhattan, we chose District 2, for Brookyln, District 15, and for Queens, District 25 and District 26.
