Moving with young kids to Leon

[The Duck]

I agree with Kasugie. Leon also has a fine zoo and the largest metropolitan park in the state. Its historic center is quite nice. It is a wealthy, vibrant, modern city with very low unemployment. Also there is a major arts and cultural complex there. Don't be discouraged by Leon nay-sayers on gtolist as their experience with Leon probably amounts to little more than day trips to Costco and Sam' club. The 'better' areas of both Irapuato [the 'villas'] and Leon [Campestre and Cerro Gordo] are at the far ends of each city in relation to Silao. If your husband's work will be in the Puerto Interior Leon would be the closer location. I'd suggest you getting in contact with the HR rep of your husband's employer and see what help can be offered and again if his work will be in the Puerto Interior they may have some guidance to offer as well.

A "yellowpage" listing of schools in Leon is here http://www.seccionamarilla.com.mx/result...ato/leon/1 a more complete list can be found on the Sec of Education site http://app.seg.guanajuato.gob.mx/ceo/ where you can simply plug in the City and grade level to generate a list which will then have contact info and map links. There is another site somewhere which gives the rankings of the schools. If I can find it I'll post it here.

And finally regardless of where you settle come visit Guanajuato.
