Thoughts on Suburbs?


This may be the most unlikely question to be posted here, but we are really looking for some opinions. We have been in BedStuy for the past 6 years, great house, nice neighbors. Growing family and less disp inc we are reluctantly considering relocating out of the city. Know nothing about NY suburbs. Not a huge suburb/country person so looking for a place that is diverse, has a nice walking village area, not a 3 hr 1-way commute to the city, “hip”-ish like BK :) and a reputation of happy residents. I know it’s asking for a lot. Some folks have mentioned Riverdale, Garden City, Westport, Hoboken. Just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks sooo much!

Contractor a no-show and desperate…


We were just stood up over the weekend by our contractor for a paint and hardwood floor installation. No show no calls, Peel Away all over mantles etc. Anyhow on short notice we were able to find someone to do the paint job, but still desperately looking for someone to install the floors. They’re the pop n lock kind, which I’ve heard should be an easy job. Can anyone recommend a contractor to send to our rescue? I know we’re up against the holiday etc., but any suggestions would be appreciated.
