I have recently noticed a bunch of new mansions being built in queens ny near my grandmothers place and i thought it was weird but it put 2+2 together and it made perfect sense Scarsdale and Manhasset are now so overpopulated and the property taxes are so high it makes sense for the upper class to just live in the city than the suburbs and save 40k$ a year in property taxes on there 6million dollar mansion and send there kids to private school bc after all there kids will graduate and move on hopefully and taxes are forever :( With that in mind if your in the really hot trendy central area with great property taxes than yea you'll probably be golden in 2 years but if the area is really hot but not so central with higher taxes maybe not so goldenso all in all i think take all the advice here with a grain of salt bc it may be the smarter thing to live there if you know you want to live in that area anyways and can afford to do so but at the same time you don't want to commit yourself to something that may close the door to other opportunities further down the line...good luck and be sure to let us know how everything turns out...
