Klilyrose---

I am from the Island also and am about to move to TV ---and there are dozens of former Islanders living part time and full time there.

My answer in short is yes it cheaper .....considering all things being equal --
You taxes will be cheaper IN A HOME AS YOU MENTIONED ABOVE .

IF YOU ARE SURVIVING ON THE ISLAND WITH 2200 A MONTH INCOME. (I give you a lot of credit) there is no doubt in my mind you can do it here...But you need to look at all your expenses carefully and decide for yourself ---

In my case --Taxes are cheaper --not as low as I thought they would be in Florida but still lower then where I am in New Hyde Park--
Car insurance, Electric , home insurance water, sewer all less then NY.

I am about to retiire --there is no State tax on the pension !!!

If you have not already --visit for a week or so --and pay attention to this site --you can get most of the info you need to make a decision ...

Good Luck
