How do you decide where to look for houses? I know based on what you can afford but we live in Queens and we want to look in LI (nassau). I don't know about schools or taxes. Where do I start?
Well, you can ask all of us! But you can also look online and view the school report cards and when you look at a property you should be told the taxes (though with some info. from the real estate agent you can call the county and get the exact amount). What are you looking for in a town, besides good schools?
We are looking for a town tha isn't too far from Queens as my husband works there and I would need something near the LIRR. I weould also like some property, not too much as I know that relects your taxes but I would like to be able to have some property.
How about Valley Stream, Lynbrook, close to all pkwys and 38 min on Lirr to NYC
lynbrook is known to have excellent schools. you can also try new hyde park, franklin square, rockville centre, etc. rockville centre is also know to have very good schools.
New Hyde Park is on our list. What about Hicksville?
A lot of it depends on price as well. You may want to determine a price range that you can afford and then see what areas are within your range. Based on that I would then compare school district, travel time and what you're getting for your money. Some towns may add on an extra 10-15 minutes to your commute, but you might get a bigger house.
Set a price range (a real one) and see what towns have that range. Then narrow it down.
