Obviously there is less privacy but if the other choice is a single home that's very close to the next single home, there's not much of a difference, and most new single homes in Lakewood are like that. |
10k in taxes?! I pay $900 for my Baltimore duplex. It may go up to $3500 in a year or two but wow. Huge difference!
Eta - just started a spin off of this so I dont thread jack.

I wouldnt dream of renting any of it, not my game plan. No pesach kitchen. But in general, taxes are way cheaper here no matter what are you live in. Massive houses here will all you listed and way more are way lower taxed.

Do you live in an area where it's safe for your girls to go walking with their friends at night?

This is what I have, and why I pay $10 k. But I think there's also value in the tiny piece of land which alone is worth $300,000.

As others have said while all desirable real estate tends to rise over time, I don’t think lakewood will skyrocket to Brooklyn prices any time soon. If anything the near term trend seems to be flattening and even some dropping of prices. Many kollel people are now buying in Jackson and well off people (and ppl from Brooklyn) are going to Toms River. Add to the formula the dozens and dozens of new duplexes going up at every conceivable corner, and you get a softer Lakewood market, or at least a lid on the prices for the next while.
But obviously a single will always be worth more than a duplex (in a comparable location), for the same reason it costs more now.

You should buy a house based on what you can afford and which location you prefer, and not it's theoretical future value.
