So we can buy a 2400 sq ft, 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom house fully renovated w/ a fireplace for under $200K
I can't even find a house that doesn't look like it's from 1950's in Queens for under $500

ugh, DH and I say this all the time! Its so depressing watching all the house hunter shows on HGTV. The houses are so big and beautiful and CHEAP outside of here!
We did have to buy an outdated house to get into the neighborhood we wanted but DH is handy and we've been updating everything...slowly :) There was A LOT of carpet and wallpaper
but in the end, it'll be all custom to what we want
Yeah, that's our thinking too, that eventually it will be perfect, but it still bothers me that somewhere else, we could live in a mansion for what we'll end up spenidng on some beat up house with green counter tops and pink carpets (yup, seen it!)
Yeah. But you would be in the middle of nowhere and have to drive to do everything. There are always tradeoffs....if you want to live close to Manhattan, the is a premium, but there are benefits. KWIM?
im in south huntington it's only a 40 minute drive to the city! and 1 hour on the train when it's running, of course

That house is GORGEOUS!!!! I wish! We've said to eachother let's move to Pennsylvania sooo many times. My uncle lives up there and we love it, but way too far from anything.

Re: I'm moving to Georgia!
It's ridiculous what you can find down south! Tenn. also has beautiful houses for cheap and gorgeous scenery! PLUS the cost of living and taxes are so low that you can live comfortably on one salary

Re: I'm moving to Georgia!
Yea we keep talking about it...and it is so depressing! We can afford a whole in the wall here as opposed to living somewhere out of the city like an hour away or hour and a half. But then you give up a lot to do it if you work closer to the city.
I love west palm....I love fl...but FH wouldn't leave his city job to move.

Re: I'm moving to Georgia!
Ughhhh I know what you mean! You can get soooooooo much more for your money out of NY..
DH and I were going to move to FL right after the wedding. We had a few houses lined up to see, DH had a potential job offer and we had everything packed. But when we actually went down there, and drove around the areas we wanted to live, we quickly changed our minds. It's nothing like LI, like home. Yes, you can get much more for your money down south, but the way of life is different and luckily on LI we basically are a micro-city where we can sustain ourselves. Jobs down south are few and far between. People down where we visited told us that business is booming between the months of dec-feb. The rest of the year is so slow. We couldn't risk that.
