Nyack, NY offers a lot when it comes to proximity: on the one hand, it is geographically close to New York City and all its conveniences; on the other hand, it is far enough away to provide residents with the suburban appeal they are looking for when it comes to homeownership. Situated directly along the…

As I mentioned in my earlier blog post, Nyack, NY was the place I called home for 3 months while working on assignment in Northern New Jersey. I was apprehensive about a miserable commute initially, as I usually try to find housing within minutes of my job, as opposed to a solid half hour in…
