This will be a long term house, no moving to another place unless our work forces us too
Option #1: http://www.coldwellbankeronline.com/property/details/2250171/MLS-1218774/2010-Apache-Ct-Grafton-WI-53024.aspx
5 minutes from Major highway that I take to work (extending my drive to 30-50 minutes from 20 - 30 (dependent on traffic congestion).
Except for groceries everything in that little town worth something to my wife and I is surrounding the intersection of 60 & W (Home Depot, CostCo, Target, Gas stations, Hospital, ect...).
Schools are very close but the district is not our first choice.
Option #2: http://www.coldwellbankeronline.com/property/details/2415781/MLS-1237651/10004-N-Concord-Dr-Mequon-WI-53097.aspx
More in the country (quieter for me...)
Closer to work but due to being away from any major roads it takes the same time to drive as I have now.
It's a 20-30 minute drive from this one to the intersection I mentioned in Option #1.
It's in the school district we like the most for the area.
Wife and I like both and if they are still on the market in a month or two we will have to decide which one to go for. Waiting on my six month anniversary to pass so I can see about getting a special rate from the bank I work for on the loan.

Option 2, no contest. Better house. Better school district.

First one worries me. It's assessed at a WAY higher value than the market looks to be. The second one seems to have gained value over the last 5 years. First one has much higher property taxes, worse school, smaller lot.
