Re: LI vs Anywhere else
I plan on moving down south as soon as my lease is up....
I love New York but its sooo expensive to live... Dh's salary transfers with him...wherever we go... so to live here making x amount of money and just making it, when that same amount of money makes us quite wealthy somewhere else, just dosent make any sense...

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
All I know is that I could own a pretty nice house back home in TN vs. what we paid for our 750 sq. ft. co-op in NY, but its in TN. DH wouldn't make as much $$$ and I wouldn't be able to pursue my dream of being on B'way there.

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
We are pretty much tied to the Metro area based on DH's job. He works for Deloitte but his group is based primarily here. I don't think I would leave even if we had the choice. I love NY.

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
Yes. DH and I are moving south. We are going to build a house for a quarter of the price to buy one here. I have to stay here until December but DH may be moving as early as this March because he is up for a really good job.

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
Down south is picking up too, in some places just as expensive as here. I went to an open house in florida 2 weeks ago and the price was for a 3 bedroom, EIK, DR, LR, 1 car garage 2 baths - 1 was a shower stall for 659,000!!!!!!!  and we are only talking about new port richey, not somewhere like west palm or naples, boca where I can see those prices and more!

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
I would consider the Raleigh area of NC b/c I've lived there before and it was nice. And my brother and his family, as well as my best friend and hers live there too. But, DH has a job he really likes, my dad and his family are here so, we'll probably stay put for a while.

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
We dont know what we are going to do yet - but we cannot afford to stay here. Originally the plan was to go to FL but we are having a hard time leaving our families.
I would like to move back to Rochester but we would be taking a huge paycut. I know the cost of living is different there but it would just be too weird.

I would love to move down south but only if I could
bring my family with me. So I'll probably be here forever.

I'm going thorugh my highs & lows. I'm incredibly sad to know that I won't be close to my parents anymore. But I'm happy that Marissa will be in a great school & have a house she can call her own. It's a tough call for me but reality is that I have to choose what it best for Marissa, and right now NY is not it. I know that we will all suffer, but it will get easier as time goes by. I can visit and always be a phone call away.

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
I have lived in other areas, and like Shelley said, the only other places I would consider wouldn't be much cheaper than here.
I love all of the things that the NY metro area offers and my family is here, I don't think I would move away again at this point in my life. I would consider retiring to a less expensive place, though.

Re: LI vs Anywhere else
We just moved to Monroe, NY. DH has only a 1 hour commute to NYC, and we purchased a lakefront home for a fraction of what it would cost on LI (and that is factoring in all the renovations we did). I work from home, so the commute was a non-issue for me.
