i need some advice from other city workers who have moved upstate to westchester. im not sure where to look...im planning a move for my family next year a little further north of the city..wed like to buy a house where its not too far from the bronx (30 to 40 min drive) in a safe neighborhood...but not overly strict. no HOA...just a nice respectful home we keep to ourselves but like a little freedom. any ideas? pros cons? realty companies suggestions? places to stay away from? preferbely mount vernon north of it etc side of "upstate NY" for us..family of city workers who need to drive into the city daily and back.
You should post in the Westchester forum. Post things like your budget and other things that are needs vs wants (e.g. square footage, number bedrooms/bathrooms, style of home, property size, etc.)

"but not overly strict."
'not overly strict' when it comes to what ? double parking? recycling?

i will def do that..you can tell ive lived in the city my whole life if i think WC is upstate right? lol
Hahaha, yes, that reminded me of these people I met who moved from Queens to my mother's neighborhood in a Bergen County suburb about 30 miles NW of the city. You can even see the city from the main street in town.
The wife told me, "We love living out here in the country."
LMAO, that town hasn't been "the country" for about eighty years.
Continue the straight line east (that defines NY and PA) to CT.
North of that line is Upstate, south of that line is Downstate.
YMMV.
