[quote=Anonymous]OP, take this advice for what it is: if I were you I would absolutely, positively not move.

You say that you have a great life, great schools, great friends, great community exactly where you are. Your only complaint is that you can’t host dinner parties or have a guest room, not saying this is trivial but it does not compare to the other positives that you have named. Living in the city is so vastly different from Greenwich, you will not have the conveniences that you are accustomed to. People in Greenwich are extremely wealthy and snobby, maybe that’s true of your New York friends as well but it is a different world in Greenwich. Super super rich, and if you are not super super rich then you will feel super super poor all. The. Time.

The only way I would make this move is if I was desperate to live in the suburbs. If I wanted the upkeep of a house, or the upkeep of a yard, or the ability to drive.  If you are desperate for green space or deer in your backyard. These are all good reasons to move but it sounds like what you really want is a bigger apartment in New York that is affordable.  You will not achieve that by buying a house in Greenwich.

Good luck with your decision and please keep us posted.[/quote]
