| 207496 | 10448 | Cities to Surf and raise a family in that are somewhat affordable? | 14 | mightyrime | May 17, 2021 | 2021-05-16T22:20:37-0400 | Thanks all for the replies. Lots of good advise. I lived in NYC for 8 years prior to moving to California about 4 years ago. I agree New England is special. At one point we looked at a house boat in Long Island like the poster above said! It did seem great but our firstborn was 2 at the time and could not swim and the winters seemed very cold and damp. I would love to wait the market out. As i do agree the market / economy do not make much sense right now. I think thats the safest move. But My wife is over it we have been renting for like 11 years now and moved i think 4 times with the next being a 5th move. She wants to buy a house. She has never owned a house. Never been able to decorate a house, never have her own garden. And i feel i cant deny that from her. So now its a balance of we need / want to buy and try to protect ourselves financially. I think the biggest thing that i have always followed is buy within our means. We are looking further from the coast in all the communities along the I-15 down in socal. I also love to fish as much as i love to surf. Lots of good bass lakes not far from the 15. I am OK not surfing everyday but i think to be full-filled i would need to surf and or fish 3 times a week. We are also thinking the mountains. As much as i love surfing i could replace with fly fishing / hiking / skiing in somewhere like MOntana. Its a wide world Thanks again... and if anyone lives in one of those town off the 15 in socal that the really like the area let me know.. |
