Yeah, I don't know if I could do that.  I like being in a semi-metro area where I can find different food/places/people and be close to an airport and other stuff.  I think the median income in Indy is low(ish)?  But it's rising because of the hospitals/nearby college and a bunch of 'luxury' apartments going up.  Which I would never rent, since I worked in development and know that something that goes up that fast doesn't have good insulation.  I think Indy is going to blow up in the next 5-years due to the lower COL and some other stuff getting revitalized/gentrified.

I think once I get a loan or two paid off, I'll be sitting pretty.  But until then, it's a JK grind until I'm able.

We have all that. I'm only 15-20 minutes from an airport, and there are tons of local restaurants and places. "Local" is a big thing around here.

I looked it up (because I'm an engineer, duh) and it looks like the average property tax collected in Rockingham county, NH last year was about 1.74% of the assessed value.

In Franklin County, OH, it varies (a lot) based on what school district you're in, but it's typically between about 1.7 and 2.2%.

:dunno:

I pay 2% for cook county Chicago in a suburb with good schools. But there are other counties where it can get higher.

In my case it looks like an oversight on the auditor's part. When we bought the house it was registered as not having a finished basement (even though it is finished). I guess they figured out their mistake.

Time to unfinish that basement.

I couldn't live in a city due to lack of space. I grew up with a very small yard and no privacy from the neighbors. I want land. And trees 

I'll just settle with not sharing a wall with someone unrelated to me.

But I don't want 'local'.  I want a mixture of people with a collaboration.  I want noise.  I want opera.  I want to go clubbing.  I want to try new things and not be stuck in a mayonnaise on white bread lifestyle.

@NikR Hey yeah, lawyer-up and get that property reassessed!  My parents do it yearly in Suffolk County.

Since we have an HOA, they hire a lawyer for all of us. Its stupid.

So the town I grew up in is about 2.1% 

NH has the 3rd highest property taxes in the US

 

[RBHeadge PE]

That's part of the experience. do y'all have a trend of hiring some lawyer and then they reduce it. Its common in chicagoland. Seems like a scam between the assessor and the lawyers.

It's like that in Philly. And I think NYC too

I want to go clubbing.

We do that here when someone gets out of line.

My property tax was higher than my mortgage payment every month in kane County 

 

[Orchid PE]

Yeah I don't like HOAs. I don't like someone else telling me I have to keep my lawn mowed (it's happened). If I want to let it grow, then I should be allowed to let it grow. This is 'merica.

It's not technically a mob.

I'll pass on noise & clubbing but I like your other sentiments.

I agree. Ours are not that strict expect where to place your satellite dish. And they clean/shovel the snow and mow the grass. But yes, I am planning to get away from it since its an additional for 'life payment' like taxes.

Not having an HOA was helpful during my PE exam study period when I didn't make time for much else, other than family. I paid for it in nasty looks from my neighbors, though (We're on good terms now)

It's not like we're a rural town. We have a downtown scene with awesome local (not chain) restaurants, bars, shops, etc. It's just not yugh.

It is yugher than where I moved from, though. The "downtown" scene area where I moved from was only like 1 street. There were other streets, but it just wasn't booming. Here, on the other hand, it's a real downtown. With blocks and blocks of stuff.

also this.

apt 5: for some reason the shared wall was the bedrooms (this was a standalone duplex) with the kitchen on an outside wall (with an unheated basement so frozen pipes were a real threat). And my neighbors were in their late 50s (my mom is early 50s) and it basically felt like I was living with my parents. Did not like. on so many levels.
