Top 8 Cheapest Places To Live Near NYC

[@JERios-wv8lx]

Min. 1:33 That picture isn't Stamford, but Montreal Canada!!!....Greenwich (the last town in this list), is one of the most expensive places to live in the country!!!

[@hhvictor2462]

I lived near S. Broadway in Yonkers. Many nice quiet areas and food prices are cheaper than in NYC, at least when I was there. Pleasant memories.

[@itsDjjayyArt]

Definitely thinking about moving there. I'm in NJ at the moment and hate it 😅😅

[@alemzaganjor8779]

Amazing video, will definitely us Dumbo Moving when I decide to move to one of these places. They are all so beautiful, very hard to decide.

[@vladimirradojkovic4104]

OMG! New Rochelle is the move for real for real and definitely will call Dumbo Moving to help me out!

[@who_isthisdiva1273]

Its a very preppy place to live iykyk

[@kazikian]

So you’ve accidentally listed the eight most expensive places to live near NYC.

[@laurel1865]

Those are the only type of people who can afford professional movers

[@PrAmerican]

Orange County NY, has some great hidden gems that’s an hour away. City of newburgh or the more affluent Town of Newburgh, New Windsor, Montgomery, WALDEN. Great prices but soaring especially in Town of Newburgh and New Windsor.

[@stevan9676]

Nice list, my top pick is Yonkers!

[@ljubicastipauk2391]

Yeah, i lived there for some time. Definately a good choice! ✌️

[@aymanuadamu4766]

Same here

[@yan1que86]

New Rochelle is crowded, Stamford is becoming overcrowded. Driving and Traffic is horrendous in Connecticut/lower Westchester. Larchmont is nice but a bit expensive. Most of these places don’t have the best parking. And you’ll have to pay high toll just to enjoy the city from nj. And Greenwich is expensive and uppity.

[@itsDjjayyArt]

The reason why I want to leave NJ. The majority of the time if I'm going shopping or work it's in NYC. Plus the toll rate is high as af 😅😅

[@ablaze861]

New Rochelle isn't overcrowded. Even the downtown area is manageable despite the new, luxury construction. I think using the word "uppity" suggests something about Greenwich that isn't true. Greenwich is filled with old money ultra wealthy, so ostentation displays of wealth (especially fake wealth) is frowned on. Anyone reading my post can decide for themselves what that means.

[@WhatIsThis-zq4hk]

Don't drive.

[@Trancer006]

How is the public transit in these areas you cited?

[@LBarrera08]

Great options

[@dovinarsky]

On point! I’ve been thinking of moving out of NYC and had Maplewood NJ on my radar for quite some time now.

[@itsDjjayyArt]

Don't forget to take the toll rate to account cuz that's increasing😅😅 and traffic is a pain in the ass

[@justinmelao3434]

trains exist@@itsDjjayyArt

[@itsDjjayyArt]

@@justinmelao3434 have you seen the transit system in New York City it's not doing so well at all 😂 they need major improvement especially for safety

[@nkyankees05]

Maplewood is one of the most impossible to stand progressive places out there and they’re hypocrites because it is nowhere near affordable anymore.

[@lukemelone2197]

@@itsDjjayyArtEnd of August update: NJ Transit has such a bad year they are literally offering free rides this week

[@kenradsstuff9273]

There is nothing cheap about some of these places. Particularly Greenwich! Yeesh!

[@constantcrum]

This is such a helpful list, appreciate it

[@nikola2465]

This was actually really helpful.

[@alexandarvlahovic2842]

This is great guys. How can I get a quote?

[@nikolamanasijevic3054]

Really helpful video, Stamford would definitely be my choice! Thanks Dumbo!

[@eugene7462]

I think Fort Lee is the best option with its views on Manhattan.

[@itsDjjayyArt]

😅 but the toll rate 😂😂😂

[@WillNotSubmit-Johanna_RN]

Also very congested.

[@ThomasDeLello]

If Yonkers is New York's Best Kept Secret, I'm still glad I left it in my rear view mirror in 1970.

[@Lazariez]

Great video!

[@jacqueline3397]

Seriously, Greenwich.. Hilarious!

[@intropeaevents1942]

Great service! Great movers! Great Company! My recommendation to everyone!

[@aleksandarsavovic8419]

These guys were great !! They were on time, efficient, friendly and nothing was broken. 10/10 would use this service again !!!

[@andrewst.pierre2779]

Fake comments?

[@JavierDuque]

bot alert!

[@clydelaz]

You forgot Newark. Actually you didn't since your arial shot of Maplewood was actually in reality a shot of Newark.

[@ablaze861]

This is when you know they are nuts. Greenwich doesn't belong on any list with the word "Cheapest" in the title.

[@luckytown7209]

Mention the average home prices next time

[@crystalbanegas3984]

Im thinking of moving from New Mexico to New York but rent is so expensive over there!!!

[@kathylakowitz]

I'm a life long NYC suburban resident. Keep in mind that salaries are much higher here than in New Mexico for the same job. Example: minimum wage in the NYC area is $15./ hr. That said, a guideline is to have a minimum of $75-100,000. income for 1 person (no children). A comfortable income is $100-125,000. If children are included, a minimum income is $125-150,000. NOT mentioned in the video - TAXES. Yonkers has a resident tax, NYC has an income tax in addition to the State income tax. If you live in Conn. or New Jersey and work in NYC, you will pay taxes to 2 States but housing prices are cheaper in Conn. and NJ vs. the NYC area. Also keep in mind that in NM, you're used to driving. In the NYC area, you will be commuting by train, so less money spent on gas. I know NM has gorgeous scenery but a 1 - 2 hour ride outside the NYC area gives you plenty of hiking trails, scenery and instagram worthy photos - yes you need a car to drive there. As for weather - winter - cold / snow / windy. Spring & fall - rain but perfect weather. Summer - hot and humid - but not as bad as Florida. Hope this helps.

[@aldaktar1077]

But why you are planing to move from there, actually I am planning to migrate to nm, it have cheep houses and lands and quite place to live, but I dont know much about the wather and other stuff

[@crystalbanegas3984]

@@aldaktar1077 I’ve been here my whole Life. It’s a small town and everyone knows everyone. Weather here is pretty good for the most part. Hot in the summer tho.

[@crystalbanegas3984]

@@kathylakowitz thank you for that information! I did not know that at all.

[@kathylakowitz]

Thank you for your reply. A few more tips: Housing - rental / buying prices anywhere in the NYC area including suburbs is based on school districts. If prices are expensive, it's because the school district / neighborhood is very good - NOTHING to do with the apartment building or house itself. If prices are cheap, it means the school district sucks (poor performance) or the neighborhood is trash. What many low income / middle income parents do (myself included) - we rented a 2 bedroom apartment in a rich income school district and our 2 kids had to share a bedroom. This ensured our kids were educated in a nationally ranked top public school district while the rich homeowners paid thousands of dollars in property taxes. Yes we had to pay top dollar for rent but my kids getting a good education was worth the sacrifice. That's why it's important before moving to NYC to know if children will be a factor or not. If you don't have kids, you can easily find an affordable rental in many areas including the suburbs but remember, the reason it's cheap is because the school district sucks or the neighborhood has a huge Hispanic / illegal population or a huge U.S. Citizens on welfare population. Another tip: YOUR education - do you have a college degree in a field that pays high salaries? Technology, education, health care, marketing, financial, law or business? You can earn $200,000. if your college degree is in any of these fields. Teachers in the suburbs - especially the top rated school districts earn $150,000./ year. It's also VERY competitive. NO college degree? Do you have skills in electricity, construction, auto repair? Again, these services pay huge salaries. It cost me $50,000. just to install new floors and renovate a small bathroom in a 1 bedroom apartment. Jobs that DON'T pay - retail, restaurants, hotels, nursing homes, etc.

[@ablaze861]

Who wrote this garbage? Larchmont and urban never belong in the same sentence. Also, Larchmont is comparable in expense to Manhattan.

[@Nedski42YT]

Yeah... that does not look like Larchmont to me. 🤔

[@lukegordon9933]

"Cheapest" places - Port Washington, Larchmont, Greenwich😂😂🤡🤡 Greenwich is the richest town in Connecticut - median income is over $700k!!

[@WillNotSubmit-Johanna_RN]

Fort Lee is not cheap either.

[@mikeusa9557]

If its cheap means its not safe! By logic

[@AimnHmz]

I think theye are the most expensive😂

[@DamianLewd]

None of these are affordable

[@itsDjjayyArt]

Welcome to inflation 😅😅

[@jeanmeizel8895]

Are you Nuts these places are Far from cheap!
