Do you sometimes think, if only I could escape the taxes, the stress, the congestion, the road rage, the snow storms?
Well we felt that way after living in the same Nassau County home for 34 years, and we finally did something about it.
We spent years looking for a place that had the best combination of climate, affordability, low taxes and friendly neighbors; and we finally found the best of all worlds in a place most Long Islanders never consider.
We left our modest home where we lived for 34 years, acknowledging that taxes would only continue to increase, traffic would only get worse, winters would only seem longer and the opportunity we owed ourselves would only slip away more and more with each passing year.
Our new home is three times as large, costs half as much and has taxes that are one fifth those of the smaller Long Island home.
During the last six years we have saved an average of $8,000 per year in property tax. That’s $48,000 in the bank in addition to the $200,000 we made on trading up to a bigger home.
