So this is a very unlikely scenario, but got permission from the wife to look into move to the NYC area. Neither of us have any family there nor have either of us ever lived in the NE before, but the job opportunities simply can't be beat.
Here is what I'm looking for, does it exist, and if so where?
1. must be able to sit short call from home
2. <$650k
3. 3000+ SF, garage, with an unfinished basement
4. good high schools
5. low crime
My guess is this place doesn't exist but if it does I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks!

If you decide to move there, I'd recommend reading Marx to get you acquainted with the culture.
But it is pretty country.

Thanks for all the replies. More options than I originally thought. The big question that we will have to answer is will the extra earning potential offset the extra taxes, the distance from family, and the rectal trauma of living in such a congested area. Probably not, but good to know that it is a possibility.

MikeF16,
In my opinion, yes, living on LI will present opportunities to afford it in the case of higher taxes, low stress commute etc. However, not having family around to dump the kids off on the drop of a dime GS, may make it difficult to take advantage of a last minute GS. It also is not as congested as you may think. Typical suburbs like anywhere else. House, yard, house, yard, etc. LI is NOT brooklyn or queens.
Also, for financial planning purposes I've gotten at least 1 GS every single month I've been here(-88FO) and sometimes more and I'm not senior enough to play the IOE game. It helps, no doubt.

. We will never move to SLC as long as we're married. Too bad we don't have Denver!Our situation is I hate commuting and told her I'm moving to a domicile, but since she followed me throughout my military career she can pick which one. She picked ATL which I'd prefer to avoid. My wife is from Texas so MSP, DTW, SLC, SEA, and NYC all get tossed in the trash due to the weather. However, my wife is no dummy and she sees all the green slips in NYC I miss due to my commute, so greed starts to fight with cold and maybe I've got a chance to avoid ATL. Just not sure if the cure is better than the disease
