It's interesting too, because in the area I am from (all woods, mountains and farmland), it is only 90 minutes from NYC and many people who move up there are actually from the NYC Metro-area which has caused the prices of homes and land to skyrocket. Also, many people I work with who are originally from down here moved up in that area after their kids were born and make the commute to work so the kids can have a better upbringing, better schools etc. and the area is still pretty cheap compared to Long Island.
