How Much Home $400K Gets You, Hudson Valley Vs. South Carolina
The difference in taxes is what may make you cry: $11,000 vs. $1,000. What's keeping you in the Hudson Valley or are you ready to leave?
The Hudson Valley has top-notch schools, beautiful countryside, rivers, lakes and Long Island Sound, and it's just a train ride away from New York City — but it all comes at a price. Housing costs, including some of the highest property taxes in the country, put a squeeze on many residents.
With that in mind, the photos above show how much home $400,000 can get you in the Hudson Valley versus South Carolina, a state with one of the highest population growth rates in the country.
