Is anyone looking to move off L.I. after they are married?
My Fiance and I have been looking and talking about where we will live after we are married. Since housing on Long Island is so expensive we have been considering to move out of state. All of our family is here and its really sad to think we will have to move. Anyone else in the same situation? Any thoughts ideas?
Thanks!

Hello Date Twin!
FH and I do talk about moving out of state but not because of housing costs (we already own one). Our concerns are the cost of living, quality of life, and how crowded LI is getting. If we did relocate, it wouldn't to for a few years but it is something we seriously discuss.

Unless we win the lottery (LOL!!), we are not moving out of LI. FH's family lives here and we have a house already. I lived in other states but I did not like it. I love NY.

Hey Thanks!! I know besides the housing the cost of living is also another issue.

As much as I would hate to leave, I think we'll be moving to Myrtle Beach or florida, it's so sad.....

In a few years, we'll most likely be moving. FH grew up out of state and he doesn't particularly care for Long Island or NY. He feels like there are so many nicer places to live with a better quality of life. We'll most likely be moving at some point in the next few years.

This is something that I stress about constantly!!! I just can't imagine how I can afford to live here or buy a house here. It is just crazy! We are possibly looking at PA, but all of our family is here too.

Well I'm not moving from LI, but I'm moving out of FL for quality of life issues and the cost of housing. I can't wait to leave. FL has changed so much, it's overpopulated and the median housing price in my area is now $450k. The hurricanes have become a huge nightmare and not worth it. I know people in NY think FL is paradise, but I tend to disagree. I've been here for 16yrs and it's devoid of culture, the schools are horrible, and besides going to the beach there isn't anything to do.

When we first met we both said how we wanted to live in California. The funnier thing is be both had said we had planned on moving there on our own before we had met.
Now it's a serious consideration to move to California, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia or North Carolina. We both hate winter, want to be able to actually afford to buy a home, and have better quality of life where 90% of your paycheck doesn't go to bills. Living in NY has become too damned expensive, and I really can't see myself raising kids here anymore. (No offense to those that do.)

We don't want to move, but probably will have to. We talked about it and it just doesn't make sense to kill yourself trying to pay off a 450K mortgage and the property taxes.... we want children and it would be nice for one of us to be able to stay home with them...
We are looking at PA, I went to college there and know the area... Florida or perhaps the Carolinas.... I don't mind moving but I am in my dream district, and I would hate to leave. . . . but LI in my opinion, is just not worth it. Why kill yourself just to pay bills on LI?? We will miss our families though...

Re: Is anyone looking to move off L.I. after they are married?
Yes actually. We have come to the very sad conclusion that if we stay here we will never own a home. It's hard. I've lived on LI my whole life...my family and friends are all here, but real estate is so unobtainable to people just starting out. We won't be moving right after we are married, but definitely before we have kids. FH and I would rather not struggle. We plan on working here for a couple of years (because the salary is higher here), saving and then moving out of state. Unless some miracle happens and we make a lot more here then we are expecting, we are being forced to re-locate. I'm very sad about it actually. We are also thinking NC or VA

I'm not from LI and have no family down here - so I've raised that question on numerous occasions. FH comes from a very small family and they all live on LI, so he doesn't see us moving and frankly, I don't want it to be yet another argument for us - I'll stay to be with him and he's promised that he'll take me to see my family whenever I want. We both realize we have to save a lot of money to buy a home here, but as long as we're together - I'll and we'll be happy!
