Are you happy now? Why? What is really important to me is #1 great schools #2 affordable good quality real estate #3 NY area
BTW this is not a random wondering. This is me not knowing where to take my family and where to set up our lives.
Thank You SO Much

I could've written this post! Except for various reasons we're tied to NY for the forseeable future. Not sure how we're going to do this.

SI or NJ if you still want to be near things...
If you have family, job opportunity out of town, go for it.

It's going to depend what you mean by "great" and what you mean by affordable. Also, on your hashkafah- Queens can be pretty diverse.
In Northern NJ, housing isn't cheap, but it's not Queens either. You can buy and live in one town and send to school in the next town to get the combo you want. Queens is a bit of a commute for work, and most people don't do it.

I have heard people are moving to East Meadow (near Roosevelt Field mall) and sending kids to queens schools. Also a lot of queens people are moving to West Hempstead but IMO its not cheap and pretty dumpy

Thanks for starting this post. I myself also live in Queens and one day we'll have to move, but to a cheaper place. I really like the area where we live (close to so many shuls & schools) but I'm not sure how we could afford to move to a bigger apartment over here.

I happen to live in West Hempstead and think it's quite nice. May I ask, Princess, where you're from?

Our Hashkafah is between MO and Yeshivish. What I mean by affordable is $3000 or less per month. What I mean by great schools is a school that is professional, positive, supportive, and in theory could produce educated confident kids and have quality Torah studies.

Mauve, is it really more affordable there? I know LA is an upgrade in beautiful surroundings but I thought equally expensive?!!

You can get a home in Teaneck for $3,000/month mortgage. Even less if you don't need a fixed up home. Fairlawn is even cheaper or you can get more for the same price.
There are great schools, but they aren't cheap either (they range from 9k-18k/year).

Just chiming in to support a sista- I think w hempstead is kind of dumpy as well. And I totally don't get why "princess" has to defend where she lives. Maybe it's also dumpy. Maybe she lives in w hempstead! But maybe it's gorgeous. She is still entitled to her opinion!
Anonymous because I have relatives on here who live there and would likely be hurt if they knew I think their neighborhood is more dumpy than not.
