Where do you want to go?
In real estate, location is everything.
When thinking about home ownership, its important to think ahead. In the current market climate, knowing before you go can make or break the deal.
Do you need to be close to your job and/or transit?
What about school districts?
How much space were you thinking about?
Private house? Condo? CO-Op? Apartment?
WONDERFUL
Westchester
Westchester County offers a variety of perks, not least of which is the proximity to Manhattan, and the commuter opinions. Beautiful scenic views of the Hudson river await you.
Westchester gives you the darling river towns which provide a small-town feel, with the added bonus of being able to shoot into the city if you wish. This does come with a hefty price tag though, as living in Westchester can be extremely expensive including taxes and the exhilarant cost of living.
Properties in Westchester are considerably higher than the surrounding areas with NYC being the exception.
