In NY, especially the “nicer” areas, $12K isn’t much of a house. When I was in the Binghamton area, we paid about $6K in property taxes on a 1450 sqft house situated on a 150x50 lot.
Greenburgh, IIRC, is downstate - nearer the city, in the money ‘burbs.
Just my $.02.
An excellent comparison to the kind of information I was looking for. Thank you!
