Probably for about the same price. Amazing what people pay in the city.

Welcome. We love pictures here!

If I was a decade younger I'd make the same move from upstate. NY sucks.

Move down south where it’s cheap to live, no snow. I wear shorts year round. You know the story

So glad to have escaped NY. Went from loving NY most of my life to hating it.
Attached is a picture of our front yard.
These animals (mostly Oryx and Blackbuck Antelope) belong to our community, not our personal animals!
Love wearing shorts 350 days a year! (What are these things -- "pants" "jeans"?)
People SO MUCH NICER here. Takes some getting used to.

The old television show “Green Acres” comes to mind. Watch out for your local “Mr. Haney”…

Everyone that doesn't live in NY is nicer. Moved out in 1980 to a little town in SC. Everyone knew Everyone. Stopped for chats in the road. Very nice place. But now 43 years later... growth has changed it. To much traffic.. to much everything. (But the amenities are nice)

Good stuff. Keep it up. Good luck with your projects!
