Stay in Plainview or Move to Westchester for a Purchase, NY Job?
Hi everyone! I’m currently renting a 2-bedroom in Plainview and commuting to Grand Central 2 days a week (1 hr 20 min door-to-door via Hicksville LIRR).
I just accepted a new role in Purchase, NY (3–4 days/week in-office), but driving looks like ~2 hours each way.
Should I stay in Plainview and handle the commute, or relocate to Westchester? I’d love your thoughts on the pros/cons, cost of living comparisons, and overall experience for both options.
Thanks
