I never thought I would leave Manhattan, but it got to a point where I just couldn’t take it anymore. I enjoyed the years I spent there and all of the friends and memories I made, but I knew when it was time to get out. My husband and I wanted more space for our kids, and we felt like we were suffocating under our rent in Manhattan. We still wanted to be close enough so that we could keep our jobs, so we decided on Flushing. We knew we would be able to afford to buy a home there, and that was very important to us. Luckily it didn’t take us very long to find a great place, and we have been living here now for a few months. We got connected with Flushing ADT Security for peace of mind, and we feel great. Our kids love their new school and my husband and I love having so much more space. It was hard to adjust to the long commute, but after a few weeks it got better. Now I appreciate the time I have to myself to read while I’m on the train every day.
