It was pretty delicious. I've been wanting to try The Cookery too but haven't had a chance yet. The vibe + restaurants etc were what attracted us to the area because I felt like we would get the great schools, plus more space but still feel Brooklynish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-95169 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:19:07 +0000 Andrea 95169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I've never been there but I have been wanting to try The Cookery for a while. Have you eaten there? I'll have to check it that area sometime. I hear there are a lot of good restaurants there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-95168 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:18:23 +0000 Sophia 95168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours are just over $4k for a 3 bed/2 bath home (approx 2400 sq ft) on a 1/2 acre lot.

One of the best school districts in the area so hopefully it will be worth it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-95074 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:21:26 +0000 plantains 95074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: @Andrea: those Westchester/Jersey taxes are pretty much the reason why I'm sure we will have to stay in the city. We were planning on moving to Dobbs Ferry, but the 20K property taxes are holding us back. Especially when that is considered 'cheap' for Westchester county. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-95070 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:18:56 +0000 kodybear 95070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is ridiculous. We pay about $10000 a year for a 2000sq ft house in SD!! Although half is actual property tax and half is mello Roos... but still. So expensive. But we love the neighborhood and the schools </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-95066 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:16:22 +0000 twodoghouse 95066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is $5600, which is high for our city, but we specifically bought in the best school district in town, knowing full well that house prices &amp; property taxes were higher here. We're in central IL, by the way. </p> <p>Sometimes my husband and I talk about wishing we were in Chicago or another big city, but when I hear you girls talk about taxes at $19,000 (or $45,000!) I am quite glad I live in my small/cheap town! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-95058 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:03:04 +0000 kml636 95058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: And I thought Maryland was a high tax state!

I have coworkers in the same town who pay 23K and 32K for theirs. And we arent talking McMansions here. Yeah 5BR and 3200 sqft is big, but thats an average house in the town we are looking in. The taxes are just out of control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-95002 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:12:33 +0000 anewme 95002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: wow that's incredible!

We are just outside the city limits (you cross it going into our neighborhood) so its much less than everyone else. If we had the same house in the city, it would be $1500 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-to-those-who-own-how-much-are-your-property-taxes#post-94969 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 08:33:51 +0000 LivsMama 94969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went under contract on a house (and subsequently pulled out because of this) that was a 3000 sq ft colonial (5 BR) and the property taxes were...wait for it...$19,000 a year. No, there isnt an extra zero there. 19 THOUSAND. ITs a small suburb of NJ with the best school system in NJ, so taxes are naturally higher. But that was way more than we expected to pay. </p>
