Which is the best town out of these 4? Central Islip, Brentwood, Wyandanch or North Amityville? (Bellport: rent, condo)

[LongIslandPerson]

Hi, I recently got a new job and this puts me in a position where I now realize I am financially capable of moving out of my parents house and live on my own.

Instead or renting, I want to buy so my money doesn't go down the drain. I'm less than 21 so the School Districts aren't really a concern for me. I believe that why spend twice on a house in a different town when you can get a just as good house for half the price..

I just want to know which is the best town out of these 4. Or if you had to choose, which one of these would you choose?

Central Islip, if you must.

Whats your next 4 towns?

Add Bellport to your list. We've had 3 shootings in the last week so your street cred will go through the roof.

At first I had to ask myself if this was a trick question...

[amyla]

what about buying a townhouse or a condo in a better area??

although you are far from having children right now-a good/decent school district will be important if and when you want to sell-

i have not seen very good things go on in wyandanch over the last 10 years-

With what's going on - buying in those school districts would be more "money down the drain" then renting. Remember, you're "paying half the price" for a reason.

Do yourself a favor and rent for a year in the town you choose to get all the appropriate flavors before you collar yourself with a mortgage and a home you'll have a real time selling one day.

Central Islip

I'd have to say Wyandanch.
