Ok im in my mid 20’s , most people my age still live at home with their parents on long island at this age as nobody can afford anything! An apartment on average is about 1200-1600 and thats just for a basement apartments! thats how expensive it is here. Unless u are wealthy or middle aged (when people bought there homes years ago when things were cheaper) everyone my generation seems to be moving off the island….
I am thinking about moving to VA in a few years . I was just wondering if anyone or knew of anyone who moved off long island because of cost of living? some advise would be good thanks
If you are single and have employable skills you can move anywhere your heart desires. You don’t have to get anyone’s permission to do so. Think of the possibilities! With the exception of the large coastal cities almost everywhere is less expensive than Long Island.

I live in Virginia! I suggest you move to the city here called Norfolk. It’s beautiful! Water everywhere, and there is mermaid statues all around the town. People say Richmond is nice but I think Norfolk is more beautiful.

I live on Long Island too. I know A LOT of people who are moving out of state. Things are getting ridicously expensive here and if you want to own your own home, or not have to pay 11 k just in taxes a year, then I would say move. If I didn’t already have a house, I probably would have had to leave already. Especially since the houses are going for at least 400k around me and thats for a 60 year old house that needs renovations! It is getting very crowded here and not too long before we wind up like the city.
