Add years to your life, have less stress, less expenses, and live life to the fullest!

After 35 years a Real Estate Broker, I speak with experience.
I reside in Middle Village,NY and the surrounding areas of Forest Hills, Rego Park, Glendale, and  Maspeth. 
Owning a Home in one of the above areas, is best for you, your family and your Health!

I have witnessed first hand since 25 years ago to today, that people who moved out of the areas to go to Long Island to reside, keep coming back to the areas they once lived. So many sold, bought in Long Island and have been selling their homes and coming back to Queens, New York.
Even those that left Middle Village to live in Howard Beach are coming back after numerous floods, and devastating Hurricane Sandy.

The reasons why so many come back and reside once again in the areas they grew up in, are the following:
1) outrageous taxes on properties in Long Island
2) sky high Flood insurance premiums they now have to pay.
3) Commuting nightmare of traveling on the Long Island Expressway to their jobs in Queens, or Brooklyn, or Manhattan.
Or paying the Monthly Costs on the Long Island Railroad.
(either way its countless hours of traveling back and forth)
4) entering the golden years of retirement, collecting a small pension and or social security just doesn't pay all the expenses, and leaving much in their pockets for themselves.
 
You can add years to your life with having one of the most important factors there is in life, CONVENIENCE.
Walking to all the stores, local bus stops, express buses to Manhattan or to the Hamptons.
Paying low taxes on Properties in a No Flood Zone besides.
Near 5 Major Highways.
20 minutes usually to Manhattan.
Less wear and tear on your car, less gas expenses, less commuting
and most important of all less stress, anxiety, on yourself.
