Makes no difference if you go North or South. You will have to spend $400k or more to get something good.
East of 35 sucks, so don't even bother...

Look up public transportation from Woodland Park to Manhattan. It costs a fortune and takes forever.
8.5 million people in NYC and another 600,000 come in for work every day.
Property tax, sales tax, and income tax are all high in NJ. That is why people are leaving as fast as they can. If you think Austin or NOLA traffic is bad try the drive from North Jersey to downtown Manhattan on a weekday morning . You could also drop another 100k and get a 500K studio apartment in Manhattan, if you can find one at that price...I wouldn't want the 400k house outside of Austin or in North Jersey, but I would take Austin if I had to choose. Plus the fishing in NJ sucks.

Or west. I live in Lakeway and shite is unreasonable. I especially liked when I looked into buying a condo/townhouse before a house and they told be the hoa fee was $300 per month.

I'll look into this for you, but my first guess is supply and demand.

Just because there are literally zero it doesn't make it ok for you to mention it. Your comment was racist and unless you admit black school districts are just as good as white school districts the problem will never change.

i went to a school that was literally 100% white for a few years but it was still pretty shitty. average income and/or average home value says a lot more.

Is Austin real estate a bubble?
A bubble that won't burst. The bubble started back in the 1990s and its still going. It was barely interrupted by the recession. This is pretty old news at this point.
Posted on 2/28/16 at 4:48 am to Asgard Device
Yes., bad bubble. Austin has turned in to the sister city of San Francisco. shite hole full of libs. Traffic and housing are worst than bad.

Black school districts aren't shite because they're full of black people. They're shite because they're full of poor people with a shite culture full of single parents. Those things are correlated with black people, which makes the schools shite.
Point is: if you think black school districts and bad because black people are inherently stupid, you're a fricking racist POS. If you're using the word "black" as an indicator of poor and of shite culture, then fair game.

Statistically a 95% white school will be really good.
I went to two high schools, both had just won the blue ribbon award of excellence. Both had a white majority, but well under 95%. And both public.
One in Shelby County, TN, and the other in Chesterfield County, VA.
Actually, the second won the award, while I was there, and my freshman year, was the second year open.

Ask a realtor. They are required by law to tell you this stuff.
Actually the opposite is true. Realtors lose their license for steering people towards or away from areas because the racial makeup of an area. It's against the law.
quote:
The process whereby builders, brokers, and rental property managers induce purchasers or lessees of real property to buy land or rent premises in neighborhoods composed of persons of the same race.
Steering is an unlawful practice and includes any words or actions by a real estate sales representative or Broker that are intended to influence the choice of a prospective buyer or tenant. Steering violates federal fair housing provisions that proscribe discrimination in the sale or rental of housing.

LOL you must not know any realtors.
Austin would suck on that budget. You have to live in the central city because the highway system was deliberately sabotaged by the city council in the 90s and 2000s to discourage growth because they thought "if you don't build it, they won't come"... but they came anyway. If you live central though, it's great. You don't have to bother with MoPac, 360, or 35 and so you don't notice the highway system sucks. Otherwise I think it would be hellish to live here. The "highways" are THAT bad.
You can get a nice 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, maaybe a 3/2 in the central city for $550,000, but it's going to be about 1,400 SF, not 2,700, lol that's a mansion.

ple righteous about the 5% comment (which given the source was likely made with an ulterior motive) when there is not one who wouldn't give pause if they had kids, found the perfect house, and then found out the local district was 70% black.
Name all the great 70% black public school districts in the us. You think someone else could come up with a longer list that are not?
Exactly ..... how many of these hypocrites that live in Nola and BR send their kids to public schools , we put two kids through 14 years of Catholic school because there was no way they were going to a Jefferson parish public school .....
