It’s Day 4 of our “Bay Area versus New York: Which suburbs are more expensive?” smackdown. To be fair, we’ll only look at reasonable houses: $1-$1.5 million.

Yesterday we looked at a fine $1.335M 4br/2ba house on a 7659 sqft lot in Cupertino. It was sure a winner.  Today, let’s look at house from another tony suburb of New York.

Introducing A Wonderful Choice In Prestigious Old Westbury, Wheatley Schools, For The Good Life, W/ Outdoor & Indoor Entertainment Facilities. This Is A Sprawling 4 Bedrm Ranch Home W/ 3.55 Baths, Located On Approximately 1.5 Exceptionally Attractive Park-Like Acres. A Great And Affordable Special Opportunity.

You can learn more about the Wheatly School here. Let’s just say that this is probably a pretty competitive school.

But again, there are some fatal flaws:

1. How the heck are you going to the mow the lawn of your 1.5 acre property? How will you enjoy your pride of ownership?
2. It claims to provide the Good Life. However, as we all know, San Carlos is the City of Good Living. So… this is blatant misrepresentation.
3. No one can afford it. How many people in New York do you think have huge numbers of AAPL stock options? Probably very few. They probably just have bozos from Goldman Sachs. How will those poor losers afford a place like this?

Again, it seemed competitive at first… but then the Bay Area once again, blew away New York. Woot!
