[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where in NY would you work and can you do hybrid work?  Does your spouse work and can they find work there?  The nyc HS options are so terrible and stressful.  So I wouldn’t do it unless there was a reasonable commute from westchester or NJ.  Some people even commute in from dutchess county on metronorth (like beacon where the houses are still pretty afffprdable).  
I think it would also depend on whether you e got a house here that you bought when interest rates were low and are in a decent school district  If you have that, and are living comfortably at 260k, I’d be reluctant to give that up.  If you have to pay private school in NY, that 200K difference (closer to 100K after taxes) will disappear fast. (Although if you are catholic there are some decent Catholic HS options that are cheaper). [/quote]

OP makes 460k, affordability is not an issue. She can do Larchmont + public school that’s 30 min on the train, or new Rochelle + private. [/quote]

What’s the point of living in New Rochelle and paying for a private school?

If you are going to suffer the commute then live in Bronxville, Scarsdale, etc. and go public.[/quote]

Bc many my successful colleagues (MD of trading) live there? How bad can it be? 
Some of them even live out there in Katonah.
Scarsdale has small lots and feel crowded, with recent influx of tiger parents. I didn't choose Scarsdale for this reason.

Many successful NY people live in all parts of Westchester and many live in the city of NY.

I don’t get why if you live in New Rochelle you need to go private…are New Rochelle schools bad?  Just live in the city and go private.

I much prefer Bronxville to any of the other burbs.  The public schools are excellent and the top privates like Fieldstone, Horace Mann et al are also fairly close if you decide to live in the burbs and stay private.[/quote]

Fieldston…not sure why autocorrect wants to add the silent e[/quote]
