answer:I grew up in Larchmont. The house my parents bought for $17,000 is now valued at $1.23 million. There are no real estate bargains there today. Plus it is a much longer commute to the East Village. The schools are very good, but your daughter is years away from that being a concern. I would think that anything above 96th street, Harlem or the other neighborhoods like Inwood would make much more sense. You have very good public transportation also. But there are no steals there either. My niece and her husband had a miniscule one bdrm apartment in Inwood and paid a lot of money for what they were getting. No way of living above the shop, so to speak? No room for digs at the restaurant?
