Long Island should have options. In CT, maybe look at Stamford area? Precovid my friends bought a beautiful home in Greenwich for 800k. Prices have increased since.

Brooklyn/Queens has what you’re looking for but not in the trendier neighborhoods

Compromise safety for future property value appreciation and you win
Long Islands Finest. Check out the north shore. Beautiful.
I just bought an almost 3000 sq ft house in oyster bay for 1MM a year ago. Can certainly find a starter home for less than a mil.
I am buying a two-bedroom (small bedrooms to be clear) two-bathroom condo in Flatbush, Brooklyn for $600K. There are still relatively affordable areas in Brooklyn if you are willing to ride the train a bit longer to these areas a bit further out. These neighborhoods are changing and becoming more expensive all the time.
EY1: People said that about Fort Greene and Bed-Stuy back in the day (literally <20 years ago for the latter. I lived in Bed-Stuy then, right before the gentry arrived).
OP: Check out Midwood. Quiet and there are some gorgeous homes there. Flatbush too, close to the 2/5 subway line, has some nice homes (not as nice as Midwood). But if you require fancy restaurants and residential homogeneity, Flatbush isn’t for you yet.
I live in Flatbush, BTW.
Westchester County. It's really not all mega-mansions. I go on Zillow a lot for fun and there's tons of very decent homes for under $1m with yards for kids to play, decent schools. Southern Westchester will be only 30 minutes or so to LGA, a bit more to JFK.
Metro North has 3 lines (Hudson line follows the river, Harlem line goes through the center of the county and New Haven heads up well into CT). All of them have express trains into Grand Central in under 45 minutes unless you live way up north.
Does anyone have intel on Yonkers or White Plains?
do you care for school quality?
JKF, EWR, and Grand Central I say look in Staten Island
<45 min to grand central doesn’t sound like staten island, unless you live next to the ferry terminal
Forest Hills in Queens
Define "easy access" to an airport. There were buses from Grand Central or the Penn Station area to the airports. I have taken the M60 from the UWS to LGA. I think your best bet is a taxi or make a reservation with a car service.
You can fly out of HPN as well if you’re in Westchester. I flew out of there when I was in consulting still and it’s such a breeze compared to LGA/JFK, just less options.
