And it is true that to help you out we would need more info on what you are looking for and if you are going to commute to NY. I also come from Long Island and have lived here for 10 years, my husband commutes daily to Seacauss NJ to go to work and he wouldn't change where we live for anything. There are a lot of areas in Monroe that you could be looking at. If you would like more info you can contact me anytime at janetamodie@hotmail.com. I hope to speak to you soon.

Once I have these information I can give you some guidence on where to look for houses.

The Lehigh Valley is actually both Lehigh and Northampton Counties. The homes are less expensive here in the Lehigh Valley than Bucks County and if you are thinking of still working in NY than the commute is easy too as you would take Highwya 78 right to the center of our area. You can get a home for less up in the Carbon & Monroe areas...but, you will need to fight with the snow as it is in the Pocono area. Beautiful yes, but very rural and you will need to drive 20 to 30 mins to get everywhere. In the Lehigh Valley area you have rural but very close to everything 10 to 15 mins to all major points. If you decide you would like to look into the Lehigh Valley, shoot me an email and give me a little more information about your goals and I will get you all kinds of information that will fit your needs.Wed, 29 Apr 2009 09:40:36 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Yardley_PA-563126/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Yardley_PA-563126/Hi Maria I am a licensed realtor in both Pa and NJ and I can tell you that Bucks County is a wonderful plaxce to live.I have lived here for over 15 years and am very happy.

I guess my first question would be where are you commuting to for work?? That would help me place you where you could viably live and commute to work. My husband traveled to NJ, for a while and we live in Saylorsburg, which is in the West End. (Saylorsburg, Gilbert, Effort, Brodheadsville,) You can access 33 and 80 quite easily from these areas. Other thoughts are Of course Stroudsburg, also Henryville, Tannersville, Reeders area, they are all pretty close to 80. If you could send me more detailed information I would be happy to assist you further, and will be able to give you a more specific answer. I can also send you active homes over, once we have figured out what would best suit your needs.

Altough that is a great area, in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains, we suggest that you consider Bucks County. The Yardley/Morrisville area is affordable and an easy commute to NYC.
