[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider Putnam County, just above Westchester. Lower property taxes, money goes farther. But the commute would be longer. I know people in Cold Spring and Garrison. About 60-70 minutes to Grand Central Station on the train. Where is your office? (if you'll be commuting) Coming in from NY/CT you'll arrive to Grand Central, while NJ routes go into Penn Station. If you have another subway ride on top of that, that could add 20-30 minutes each way. [/quote] Unless you're an insane person, these two towns are likely a bit too far for normal commuting into NYC. They're both [i]at best[/i] an hour and a half of train time alone (not 60-70 minutes) to GCT. That means your total one-way commute will probably be at least two hours each way. It could work for someone with a very flexible WFH type of setup, but Garrison and Cold Spring are just too far to be considered normal NYC suburbs.[/quote]
