[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean if they had their own baseball diamond, tennis court and pool, sounds like affording groceries was not a problem? [/quote]
They were in Western New York. Doesn’t cost much for a spread like that.

Here’s the original article: https://www.esquire.com/sports/interviews/a29000/gronkowski-family-athletes-0614/

They were going through 20 gallons of milk a week.[/quote]

Doesn’t cost much to own a property with a tennis court, baseball field, pool and hot tub because it’s not on the east coast? LOL oh DCUM, you never disappoint. [/quote]

The PP didn't say that. Location always factors into COL. The Gronkowski family home was in Amherst, NY The boys shared two giant bedrooms with 5 king-sized beds split between them. Let's assume that was a bonding decision rather than space decision and put the house at 3,000+ square feet.

A house of at least 3,000 square feet in Williamsville/Amherst, NY with a minimum of 2 acres (to fit the giant outdoor athletic fields) is $600,000.  A similar lot and custom house of that size on the coast practically anywhere from NYC to Charleston will be at least $2,000,000.

If you want to be specific - this house would probably be $1.85 million in the D.C. suburbs because of square footage and acreage size. A developer would buy it and sub-divide it into 4 .50 acre lots with 2,000 square foot 3-level homes on each spot and launch it at a bidding war for $850,000 a piece.[/quote]

Thank you, PP - I’m the “doesn’t cost much” PP and I have spent a lot of time in western and central New York. This thing is $600,000 now, it would have been even lower in the 80s or 90s. The guy ran a chain of fitness equipment stores, it doesn’t seem like such a stretch. [/quote]

You forget the high property tax. [/quote]
