mopar, it you seriously consider living in newburgh, best to rent there first – use that time to find house, see if commute is tolerable,….
if you buy and don’t like it, you’re stuck – really stuck
DH, didn’t see south beach for that cheap. I know my friend’s parents just bought a condo in North Miami Beach in one of those luxury highrises for 120K but their maintenance is through the roof (Gym, pool, doorman bla bla bla) and even that was a cheap deal from what they told me. I think anything for 60K in Miami would be in the ghettos.
Keep in mind real estate taxes, folks. They are very low in Philly and they are very, very high in N J and upstate NY.
mopar – been back to crackfoods lately? went this past saturday and it was a little dissapointing 🙁
I would already go for North Jersey than Upstate. Prices are similar to some areas and commute is way shorter. Jersey City or North Bergen comes to mind as well.
yea def kens. wow 25k in west palm? i was focusing more on south beach where really nice places are as cheap as 60k on the bay side.
I just checked, the round trip fare for a monthly ticket on Metro-North Beacon to Grand Central is $327.32.
DH, I have been toying with an idea of buying something in florida as well for some time no2. I saw houses in West Palm Beach going as cheap as 47K and condos going for around 25K, RIGHT ON THE WATER!!!! and in fairly good condition.
I don’t have anytime right now to actually go there for a week to explore the areas but will probably be doing it shortly. We can talk about it at the next gathering.
According to Anna at Door Sixteen it’s a 75 minute train ride from Beacon to NYC. She adds another 5 minutes for a ferry across the Hudson from Newburgh to Beacon.
