Was that a reply to my above question? By "modern" do you mean working?

Thanks. We are a working litvish/yeshivish family. We don't consider ourselves modern or very "with-it." But we earn a living and we can afford a 600k house. Is tallymawr yay or nay?

I know very little about Toms Rivers but if some - just some - of the people living there equate Yeshivshe with being not "with it" and you consider yourself Yeshivshe then don't move there.

I thought Jackson was more yeshivish.. as in non-working. Also aren't the houses much smaller ? We are hungry for space. Coming from Brooklyn.

There are different areas in jackson. Some have bigger houses, like meadow run ct, Bridgewater ct, the pitney / Danielle area. I don't think any of these areas are super yeshivish. Plenty of working people.

Khaki, near the border but still in Lakewood off NH there are a lot of working yeshivish families. And some who aren't yeshivish. It's pretty nice there. But the houses aren't like Toms River.

What about busing to the schools in Lakewood?

Near the border New Hampshire has a new development of very chasidish people moving there. Aside from that there are yeshivish and just litvish people living there's too. It's not Tomsk river houses but there are quite a few for sale. Call a broker but definitely not Toms River type. It's a lot simpler.

Jackson doesn't have too many yeshivish type. Houses are smaller I think. It's more working litvish.

Khaki, check out "the voice" newspaper to see what the houses are like. In both areas.

I heard abt the voice , but I'm in Bklyn and it doesn't look like it's online. Also I think I need to know the right area first, before looking at types of houses. I would love a mix too, just don't want to be the outsider ( I.e the only working family, the only Litvish, the only non fancy ... ) ,that's all.

Sounds like if you're willing to sacrifice on square feet you might consider NH near Belz vs. Toms River. Busing and services shouldn't be a problem.

How big do you want a house to be?
When saying you can afford a 600k house, are you taking into account taxes going forward?
