What is the average cost of living in New York?
I would prefer to be in Long Island, but if not, somewhere definitley close to the city. We have a 2 year old so I'm looking for a place with a yard (to purchase). Please give examples; how much an average salary is, how much the average home price in the area runs, cost of transportation, etc. |

I'm not sure where you are coming from, but use this site as a tool:
http://www.bankrate.com/brm/movecalc.asp?a=0&d1=105000&d2=129.393639929575&d3=98.5991377108134&rDirect=no As an example. If you can live comfortably on $50,000 a year in Greenville, NC you would need a salary of $107,305 to have the same status of living in Manhattan, or $77,002 in Queens, or $77,142 on Long Island. |

Average cost of a home with a yard, is in the neighborhood of 500,000.00 As far as average salaries, well that depends on what you do for a living. The cost is high, but the salaries arent much higher for similar work. So if you make 50 k a year, you may make a little more but thats about it.

I recently moved to NY. Taxes will eat you alive! Job pay does not increase much from the South where I came from. Cost of living, gas, utilities, deposit fees for recycling, etc. catches up quick. It's hard to find a decent house in a nice neighborhood with a yard from under $500, 000 as stated by someone else. Good luck with your move.
