Thanks so much for all the replies. A few people have mentioned the CSH area to us and we are definitely going to look there. We've heard that Huntington schools aren't that great, though. Anyone have any opinions regarding that?

Do Cold Spring Harbor Schools. The Lloyd Harbor area of Huntington goes there. Huntington Schools are meh and theres a ton of drama up in Huntington Station so you may want to stay away.While youre there take Park Ave south to Babylon Village,If you didnt fall in love in Huntington Im sure you will fall in love wth Babylon.
Tough to beat, great downtown, QOL and fires on all your prerequisites.
Its the furthest east you can go with the best express commute on the LIRR due to the Hub for Montauk line.Go see and let us know.
Ive worked in Huntington and lived in Babylon and Im a North Shore guy ....but with that being said I still give the slight edge to BV.
BV Schools schools blow Huntington away but CSH trumps all in Suffolk.
Crooks - thanks for the info. We are checking out out some homes in CSH next week. As per your rec, we will also visit Babylon. My husband is a North Shore guys as well, but he isn't familiar w/ the Babylon area.
I just feel that if we are spending in excess of $20K on freakin property taxes, I want the BEST schools. You know?

Hmmm... Babylon is out. Train is coming in at 63-75 minutes. We are def maxed out at 60 mins. I know that sounds silly, but our orig "wishlist" was a 30 minute train. We can only get the 30-40 min commute in Westchester - 60 is by far the max for LI.

Ok.
I think you'll may find Hutington to be a very similar commute.
I guess it all comes down to loving what youre coming home to.
Factor in being closer to the station when you get off and its probably a wash.
Go see.
Good luck
Crooks
FWIW the 609a gets in at 703a, I used to take the Express to Jamaica then the Express E to Lex in about an hour.Its wasnt too bad.
If youre doing north stick with CSH.
