I don't think 45 min is a bad commute on LI, any house you buy will have to have some compromise so if u love everything else than do it. If there are other reasons I'd think twice

ITA. Plus if you are leaving early both ways you probably won't hit much traffic and you don't work all year. If that's the only reason, I wouldn't second guess it :)
Good luck!!!

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
a 45 minute commute is nothing. Sounds like it's something else maybe keeping you from wanting to live here.

45 mins isn't really that bad! Def doable. I actually enjoyed when I had a longer commute bc I was able to wake up more and enjoy my coffee :)

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
I think a 45 min commute is better than most people have it. I have an hour and half door to door so I would be happy with 45 mins and even more so if I only had to do it for 75% of the year.

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
Since we bought our house, I have an hour and a half commute on a good day - more than 2 hours when it snows. I also have low taxes (on LI) and one of the best school districts in LI/NY and according to Newsweek, in the country. Its a sacrifice I was willing to make. I'd KILL for a 45 minute commute.

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
doesn't sound like a bad deal at all...45 mins is not enough to be a deal breaker to me. sounds like this is best for your family...

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
if my commute doubled from 1.5 hours to 3 hours I would not buy the house. Since it's doubling to 45 mins it would not stop me.
Also considering your work schedule and days it's a no brainer.
Buy the house.
and congrats!

I commute 1.5 hours each way 5 days a week and sometimes on weekends. 45 minutes is not bad at all!

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
Ok, after hearing how long some of you have to commute, I must apologize for whining!!!! Yeah, I guess I can deal with it, the positives defintely outweigh the negative. Now I am excited!!!!!!! Thanks for the words of encouragement!!!!!!!!

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
The whole house buying is such an emotional roller coaster, its a huge commitment and one of the biggest investments you might make... there's so much to it and it can be over whelming and all these thoughts come to your head...I am moving from Queens to LI and my commute is going to be from 15 mins to probably over an hour. Yea, its going to be tough but its what we wanted and we are doing it for our daughter and future children.
45 minutes is a blessing!!
Best of Luck!!!

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
I totally understand your fears. I went from living in an apartment that was so close to my job that I could walk to work to a 20-30 minute commute. You will get used to it, trust me.

Re: About to go to contract and having doubts!!
It will be adjusting. Because your commute is so short. I used to live 10 minutes from work. Now I live 35 minutes away. I wish it was closer but it's not that bad. I work on weekends and hours during the week that most people are already at work. So it's not bad traffic! Otherwise it would take me much longer.
We are looking at houses now that would add 45 minutes-1 hour total commute for the day for DH. If it's the right house, DH said he was OK with it.

My commute is 1 1/2 - 2 hrs EACH way! I would kill for a 45 minute commute. Plus as a teacher you are not working year round. I wouldn't think twice b/c it sounds like the perfect location for you.
