About 8 years ago, we contemplated moving to the NYC area... I began looking at real estate on the web and found some lovely homes in Montclair, NJ. The prices of the homes were quite reasonable given they were turn of the century mansions, many on an acre and we would have been selling a DC area home.
Then I noticed the real estate taxes... some were as high as $30,000.00 annually. I recall emailing a broker, asking if I was reading the rates incorrectly... Nope :)
No wonder real estate prices were so reasonable lol
You left out the awesome weather!
