Start as Primary Residence.

Hello Folks, 

I like one of the houses in a good neighborhood in Mass. for my own living (first-time home buyer ). I saw that an Elementary school got closed due to low enrollment which is within a mile from the address.

What does that tell me about the property/area/neighborhood? Is it less youth over there? Is the population declining? 

I have a 1.5 year old and was hoping to be in some good neighborhood with good schools.

A good school is an indicator of a quality community. If the school is leaving, the quality people will leave soon, too.
