My DH is looking at a potential transfer to NYC from MI. Right now we live in a 1800sq. ft. 3 year old home with the backyard, basement etc... Typical for our area. I know that things are different out there but want to have as many comforts from home as we can. We have 3 kids and LOTS of toys/child goods so we will need the space. My question is what are the best areas for us to look? Good schools are a must. We are open to all areas inc. NJ. Thanks!
Re: Best place for a family? Need some NY help!
Are you looking to rent or buy? How willing are you to commute? Were you planning on spending much time in the city yourself?
I'm on Staten Island and I love it (most of the time.) I work in the city and commute every day, but it's worth it to know that I'm going home to someplace that's not the city.
I will PM you. I'm a "transplant" on Staten Island.
I like it here, but holy expense shock .
