Was the town that you bought your house in your first choice or did you find that once you started looking you went else where for whaterver reason. The reason i ask is because Dh and I have our hearts set on Merrick but the housing costs are so high we may have to look for another town.

we eventually bought in our first choice town...but the house we really wanted was an are our RE agent helped us to discover...we would have been very happy there too!!!
I had a list of about 5 towns I would consider, in no particualr order. We did wind up in one of them
We bought in my first choice and in franks second.

We originally thought North Shore. We thought maybe Port Washington or Manhasset and other towns along the Port Washington line. But this was going mostly by statistics/articles we read, house prices, word of mouth and commute to NYC. Well once we started going home shopping, we would take a new town each weekend and explore it and go to open houses. I found I didn't love the feel of those towns..they just weren't 100% me. So then we explored some South Shore towns and liked South Merrick and South Bellmore and wound up buying in Bellmore. I had never even heard of those towns before we started house shopping because we were so focused on North Shore towns. So far we are happy with our decision. We also really liked Syosset when we were looking but Syosset was a little further than we wanted to go.

Once we started looking we went else where because reality set in. In other words we realized that we did not want to be house poor.
