I agree that San Diego is perhaps nicer, but certain family obligations preclude me from West Coast. I hope you like the heat because the heat index hovers around 100-110 for 4-5 months straight. And make sure you know what your homeowners insurance will cost because that is a giant clusterfuck down here. I have a friend whose house was built 40 years ago that just got rezoned into a flood zone this year(it has never flooded and never had a claim). He'll be paying $3500 per year for homeowners and now flood insurance on a house that is worth maybe 75k now(was around 200k). Not too mention his once pristine golf course community is now wetlands after the course went belly-up because of the insurance fiasco. That is a story that gets repeated all to often down here.....buyer beware. Thanks, I know the drill and I am building it in no flood zone in decent elevation. And I do like the heat )). I already have insurance and tax estimates, and they are fine, especially in comparison with North East. |

It's about 35 minutes from Manhattan with no tunnel traffic so that's your location add on to 750K There is tunnel traffic, unless you take the train. |

Wow the house prices and real estate taxes boggle the mind. A house like that here is MAYBE $750,000 and property taxes would be about 6K a year. the freakin' tristate area is such a ripoff It's relative. |

That's why those Summit professionals who hate NJ transit have to go to bed early. They car pool and leave the house at 5.30am to beat the tunnel traffic. |
