It's a nice area. I lived in McKenzie Towne for a few years so I am somewhat familiar with it. You are right by Mckenzie Towne and all the shopping, the New Brighton Club is a nice feature. My only concern with New Brighton is that it is SO close to the landfill. The further south you are the better but it's something to consider anyways.
I'll put in a plug for Auburn Bay. It is just south of McKenzie Towne and across from Cranston so you are going way south again, but it is a nice lake community. If you are planning on having kids in the future it is fantastic for the kids to be able to play hockey, skate, tobogan in the winter, and swim, fish, boat, play tennis in the summer. Even if you aren't having kids it's great for you to be able to do all that.
Downside for Auburn Bay is because it is stil relatively new there aren't many services down here. You have to go to Cranston/McKenzie Towne to get anything. That will change but it isn't here yet.
