I know LI not being on it is upsetting to some, but no one said it's undesirable neighborhoods...not sure why these posts make people defensive. It does say "best and most affordable"...LI might be great, but right now it's not affordable.

I looked up a few of the towns on realtor.com and it's amazing what you can get.

that REALLY amazed me...All you every hear about Newark (or the surrounding area) is how bad the crime is....Guess there are other places where its worse.

Me too.
Where I live, in a tiny town in suburban Atlanta, the crime rate is MUCH, MUCH higher. And it's super safe. Go figure.

What makes them not desirable? They are all near big cities... a lot of them looked great to me!

Re: Affordable Suburbs
I can't comment on any of the places cause I have never heard of any of them... WELL with the exception of Livingston and W. Nyak and I have only heard of them....

Re: Affordable Suburbs
Regarding Newark - yah they are talking about Livingston, NJ which is a very upscale suburban town near Newark.....I know a couple of coworkers live there and they paid alot for their houses so I'm not sure how affordable it is....
ETA: Newark is still bad but getting better so I hear....but it's weird but kinda like LI how there are good towns right next to bad towns.
Livingston, NJ is one town near Newark that is really nice, another one is Maplewood, NJ.

I didn't see that I quoted you Kerry.
I was just trying to state the obvious, because like you said, not all are looking on LI.
Just like it's upsetting when LI is put down, it's annoying when anywhere other than LI is seen as undesirable.

Not everyone lives on LI or is looking to buy there (or already owns there). You are aware of that, right?

Its just funny cause you called me "the nastiest person on LIF" on that thread when I was defending Levittown... BUT when someone is putting down other parts of the country you kinda get defensive too
