Over the last ten years, much construction has been going on, where I live. High rise buildings have been going up every where. Growing up, most were 2 to 3 family houses and some 6 to 8, which only 4 stories. Things have changed to a accommodate in influx of people moving here, because of the train being so close to Manhattan. Many bars and restaurants have opened. Expensive brand name stores have settled in also, like Wholefoods Market and Starbucks. In the 1980's a 2 family house cost around 80,000.00, now they're around 2 million dollars. Rents have gone up dramatically, around 3500.00 for a two bedroom.
