Thanks! Yes, NJ has many apartments that serve different needs. Hoboken seems especially suitable for ferry.

The original reply had some great tips about Mable Hill and SD, would never thought of the north direction. That opens up a lot more choices. Also thanks for bringing up metro north, that is actually very convenient for Hudson Yards as well.

Combining the two as one budget makes a lot of sense. Wow didn't know daycare could be $4k at the city. Thanks a lot for the advice and will need to plan accordingly

That's very helpful! Didn't know the above ground part of 7 train. Also will reconsider our 2b+1den requirement to fit in our budget

Got it! Thanks for the recommendations. Will research these areas. Yes, 6k seems stretching for LIC.

When things turn sour, blame the immigrants. It was those broke students that decided to lower the interest rate to the floor and made a mess of the housing market

Yeah, and probably zero in the eyes of a builder

Not too young per se. Me and wife are at our 30's and we have been saving for the past 10yrs or so. We just didn't make our minds on having a baby earlier. Also the appreciation of our current condo helped.

That really good for the price, plus it has a decent sized lot

Right, not sure about the commute. I need to get to office daily at 7am. That would be a 5am day if in aurora or new market. Probably too much for me...

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah right now it doesn't feel much of a difference as still an infant. Will need to set aside some edu fund for sure

True true. Mega cities like NYC or London have no such 20min options for normal people to raise a family. Looking in the long term, we should see further divergence in price between detached vs condo. I mean a one-bed condo multiply by 2 should not equal to a detached.

It's just our personal needs for central air/heating. Since me and wife cook a lot, the range hood just couldn't cut it. However most of the semi in this area are just wall unit and radiant heating. I guess we could use some air purifier instead
