We;re in northern westchester, hubby has just a 35 min commute on train to get into 42nd street. But yeah, taxes are like 1100 a month. and the cheapest house I[ve seen in our area is upwards of 1mil so to find something below that is a rare find....so even in this market it would sell really fast. Good thing ..... IF I can get the hubster to MOVEonOUTTA HERE!!! lol, not that I'm applying pressure or anything ;)

You are right, over there just the property can run you as much. But that 35 mnt commute is not bad. I'm in central Long Island and I have a 45 mnt commute into PENN. Lol @ no pressure.
