recommend your area!!
I'm house hunting. My ideal places to live are Floral park, Franklin square, or garden city south. I'm lookin to spend b/w 400-500. Please recommend another area in nassau county that is somewhat a convient location to either highways or local roads to queens and dh works in manhattan. We would like to stay near this area but i have not found a house in all three of these areas that im in love with. any other areas that im missing that falls b/w our price range...thank u!!
school district is very important to us since we are starting a family in the near future :)

Re: recommend your area!!
We're in the Gibson section of Valley Stream / North Woodmere. We have Hewlett-Woodmere schools, easy access to the train station (walking distance from our house), easy access to the Southern State and CIP - beautiful homes (we are in the tudor section  ), good local shopping, quiet area.

Lynbrook, specifically Lynbrook North/Westwood.
Central to SSP, Sunrise and Merrick Road. Local shopping nearby and easy access to malls. A real family community (everyone on my block talks, hangs out, etc) and excellent schools. We love it here.

I work in queens and DH works in the city so we are in the same boat. It's a wonderful school district too!
There is actually a really cute house for sale a few blocks from me too!

I'm in the same situation. i am probably going to have to drive to CT to work so i'm trying to stay in the Floral park, NHP, Williston pk areas and I just cannot find anything that we like that is our budget that doesn't need $100k worth of work.

You can do Merrick 40 minute commute to city, close to pkwys.. Oceanside and Rvc both have good sds, you can do 5 town, hewlett- cedahurst.
North Shore Williston Park, but $$$.

Re: recommend your area!!
DH and I love Lynbrook. The schools are really good and it takes about 35 mins by LIRR to Penn Station. The commute to Brooklyn or Queens isn't bad either- DH does it everyday. Other areas we liked were RVC and Hewlett, but it just so happened that we found our favorite house in Lynbrook.

Lynbrook, Oceanside & Rockville Centre with Oceanside schools (always seemed more affordable by a bit compared to RVC with RVC schools).

I live in Floral Park and LOVE IT! My daughter and I just marched in the town's Memorial Day parade yesterday - the town is like a Norman Rockwell painting of small town americana.
If you are looking for a realtor - we used Kathy Tyrrell of Abbot Manor Realty - she's FANTASTIC.
We really wanted a tudor in the West End section of town, and she found us one.
The prices have come down - where you might have paid $580,000 a year ago - it's now around $480,000 or so. A lot of the houses were built in the 1930s so if it's priced in the $400,000's - chances are it will still need work.
But if you have any questions about FP - just FM me - we love it here.

Re: recommend your area!!
I grew up in Lynbrook - It is a great town. The 2 only complaints are that it is an incorporated village and there are a lot of rules. Also you cannot park on the street between 3 and 5 am.
Oceanside is a great town
Merrick
Bellmore
Wantagh
Seaford
Massapequa
All easy access to the LIRR, southern state, wantagh parkway, meadow brook, seaford oyster bay, Merrick road and Sunrise Hwy.

Re: recommend your area!!
I moved to Wantagh (Seaford school district) last summer from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and I love it here! Love the proximity to the beach, shopping, highways and the LIRR. I have 3 kids and there's sooo much for them to do out here as far as parks, pools, sports, etc.
