Re: Picking location to buy a house You better check the property taxes before moving to NJ. Anyplace nice with a decent size house could run you $15,000/year in property taxes. |

Good advice. Here we don't have to worry too much. Our Real Estate tax is 0.47/100 with no other additional tax except personal property (vehicles, boats etc) of 3.75/100.
I never have understood why the taxes were so excessive up north. |

I already checked that. In comparison to Staten Island taxes seem to be roughly on par for the amount of land you are getting. I just have a feeling that if I'll buy something in Staten Island I'll be miserable and will regret it for a very long time. (I'm using Staten Island as that's the area where we almost wound up buying before).
I like DIY stuff, and there is just no space for any of it in Staten Island. |
