Default Know anything about these towns/areas?

Hello - Hubby has been interviewing at the following place. He has a good feeling about a couple of the jobs, but nothing set in stone yet. He has a current job offer that he accepted in Wallingford, CT that was a 30% drop in salary so he trying his darn hardest to obtain interviews prior to his start date and hopefully they may reach out to him. He doesn't need to start for 3 weeks so he is packing as many interviews in as possible.
He has drove or flown to the following places and has good vibes about a couple of them so they would mean relocation at least for him initially, as I would have to stay in NJ for a year or so. Schools and living on approx. salary of 100k or a little less / or a little more as I would eventually give up my income due to me and the kids moving later on are our main concerns. I am also so used to living on top of each of other been just 30 miles outside of NYC.
  • Gainesville TX (said the area was a dump but we can commute up to 45 mins or so.
  • Fort Washington PA
  • Chillicothe OH
  • El Dorado Arkansas
  • Rothschild Wisconsin

He interviewed at Waterbury, CT too but he would be able to stay with family for that one.
Thanks for any advice.

I've driven through Gainesville many times ( to cross in to Oklahoma so i can go to the Casino )

There's not a massive amount there, If that was me I'd be tempted to look at north DFW area, Denton, Frisco, Grapevine & McKinney are all nice. However - that'd be an hour and a bit commute.

Denton is only about 30 minutes from Gainesville.

EDIT: To the OP --- Denton is a college town so there's a lot of diversity. It's also growing by leaps and bounds. I have no idea if you'll like Texas or not. Different strokes.
