Big Apple
Looks like I may need to change the Big D user name as a move up north seems imminent!
I have my own thoughts on this, and there are big pros and cons to both, but should I live in a Westchester suburb or mid town apartment?
Only me and the wife - but we are used to our space with the 3500 sq ft 'palace' we have here in Texas - and we will no doubt get visitors by the plane load.
The financial aspects arent part of the decison process at this point - its the pros and cons of city vs burbs I would be interested in your opinions of!
Cheers guys

Re: Big Apple
on sort of a different tac I would think coming from Texas loads of space around you and your home then going to New York burbs or not is going to be a big adjustment change. I would be feeling claustophobic. But I'm sure you've visited areas and seen what's it like but that's a big change.

)Its going to be a huge change on many counts - but do we get a 4 bed house with a yard and space or a 3 bed apartment and have all that city life offers.....and living in the city do you ever get chance to relax!!

If you have no children I think an apartment in a good area would be a good thing as you would have no need for a car or big commute all the shops and night life would be around you at walking distance.The thought of commuting/driving in every day would be a nightmare to me.
