I am a native, and have a child. We picked the area that we live in because of the schools, and I don't regrest the decision one bit. Depending on your budget, check out the Anthem Area. There is the Country Club area, as well as the Inspirada area for more of a "family" feel.
Here is the Inspirada site:

If your child is of elementary school age, Wallin is a 5 star, public school, which not only has great teachers, but also a uniform requirement to avoid any gang BS.
