It even will vary from village/town so you really need some local help on this one.

In the city, Southwedge and North Winton Village have appreciated well (not California level, but strong for western/central NY) since I started investing there in 2004.   

So the Mil rate is established by each taxing municipality, be it a city, town, township, village, ect. multiplied by the assessed value, determined by the municipalities assessor (not appraised values) hope this clarifies. 

I was backing down as the neighborhood, Kachina Village, doesn't seem to have many homes that size so I thought I'd be building myself out of the market. 

I live in a very small village in Upstate, NY (Gilbertsville, pop. 373).

If you are looking west, maybe consider Little Village (South Lawndale) where prices are still a bit cheaper or McKinley Park.

Real estate varies widely by state/county/town/village.
