A friend of mine bought a co-op in Hackensack, but I don't like it. It's like an apartment building, but it's his - and he still has to abide by the building's bullshit rules. Example, he had applied for a parking space in the garage - he got it. Now at the time, that space was his to do with as he pleased - the assumption is for a car, but people would also use it to put stuff in along with the car, like a bike, or chairs, etc. Anyway, they turn around one day and decide that they don't want anything there but cars so they send a memo and the next day if people still had stuff there, they confiscated it until they were claimed and only gave like 3 days to claim it. I don't know if it's that bad everywhere, but I know my friend has to abide by certain building rules (deliveries only at certain times, no late wild parties, shit like that). If I'm renting the place it's understandable, but if I own it that's bullshit.
and property taxes here suck, especially nowadays - but not as bad as in NJ though.
