Hi,
We've lived out of town for a few years and will be hopefully be moving to the TriState area next year. I'm wondering about the 5Towns - specifically Inwood vs North Woodmere vs Valley Stream. Which one of these areas are least competitive? I'm very nervous about that. Also can anyone update me on housing costs and how the types of people differ in each area? Thank you very much!!

Inwood is definitely the least competitive. It’s the same general crowd as far rockaway. It has the whole “yeshiva world” spectrum. Kollel guys to guys who don’t even own a black hat. There is no MO here though. Housing starts at 500k but that’s gonna be a very small cape style house or a house that needs a ton of work.

Valley stream and north woodmere for the frum purposes is all called north woodmere. There is a definite overlap of the crowds but it’s more “five towns” than inwood. You will find few if any kollel guys and there also MO there. It’s a general nicer than inwood and the houses are in better condition and start at around 700k

I don't know anything about 5 towns except that my sister in law who is the kindest, friendliest, warmest person I know lives in Inwood. She has a beautiful family and from what I understand loves the neighborhood.
