Do I have this right; family with 3 kids in Blazers (10k) plus a ski house rental (maybe 20k) is about $30,000 a year, then there's skis, clothing, and passes? Yikes.

Soon. Still waiting on title to come in with the lawyers but we’re in contract, mortgage and insurance and all that is lined up. Got furniture selections ready to deploy. Shopping for security systems and looking for a contractor who can help me fence off the open side of the yard. Adult homeowner shit. Very ready to get on with it!
It’s the kind of brick city row house I always wanted to own down here but good luck having that for under $1M in Brooklyn Hoboken or JC
Great yard too. City lot is narrow but 145 feet depth in the yard. Eventually will build a little ADU for a gym and guest suite back there. May even dig a lap pool (more my fiancé’s thing - I am totally pool indifferent)
Open to local recs for
Security systems and fence guys. I am looking at simplisafe currently

pretty much. Save some dough sharing house with couple families. Let's not forget the gas, car, snow tires, etc. 3 kids always need new stuff - hand me downs only work so much- feet grow, Blazer kid pressure to have cool gear! LOL. And if ones in the 25-30% fed bracket, 6-10% state, your really looking at $50k earnings to pay.
I'll say this - no sport comes to mind that whole family can do together as long as you stay vertical. Worth every penny. We need feeder hills healthy again MFHHA?
No intel on MRG ski swap this season?

Cute but not for me. I need separation from neighbors. congrats!
Congrats and good luck. Kingston has a lot going for it.
Congrats Krusty. I love Mother's Milk coffee stout at Keegan Ales. Don't know if they still have live music; one of my bands played there a few times like 9 or so years ago.
There used to be a big ski shop, Potter Brothers? Not sure if they are still there.

Keegan’s is definitely happening for live music. As are a bunch of other bars like westkill brewing. Tubbys is a rock club that books real acts. Assembly is a bigger club theatre that books bigger acts. UPAC is a proper seated theatre that books biggerest acts. Then there’s the Woodstock venues, Hudson basilica, bethel woods, spac all close ish. Very thriving music scene.
I like the narrow lot close to neighbors. I’m just a city person. Kingston is a real city it’s just miniaturized. House is a 3 block walk from pizza, sushi, bars, music venue, bistro place. 1 block from a city style bodega. Works very well for me.
Great outfitters called Kenco. Recently got a new kayak from them.

The food scene is thriving out that way too. We head over there to take in the sights and eat. Many NYC chefs are relocating and opening great restaurants if you’re willing to drive a little.
I hear you and agree, I used to live way out in CT burbs and have been in Rye and Rye Brook NY for the last 9 years, We have a nice neighborhood of single family houses on smallish lots and have a great deli 1/4 mile away, tons of restaurants and groceries within a half mile and the Capitol Theatre just a mile down the hill. The convenience way outweighs space and solitude in my estimation.
