Hello All,

We have seen a beautiful home which we finally really love in Islip Terrace and its the first home that we are seriously considering putting an offer on.

Its situated by a massive state park and is off of Connetquot Ave.

Is anyone familiar with this area? Taxes are almost 12k, but the home, I think, Is a pretty good deal as it needs 0 work done.

Any thoughts?

Seems like the schools are decent, and the neighborhood seemed pretty and the homes seemed well taken care of.

Does anyone have any thought on this area?

Crime? Schools? Any cons we should know about?

Thanks so much!!

How far up north off Connetquot is it?

Just make sure its zone for East Islip schools and not Central Islip!

Its about 4 blocks north of Manhattan Blvd. Does that help?

I will ask the agent to confirm about the schools. I think it is East Islip though.

Thanks!

To be honest I believe you are overthinking the perfection of the house. LI is a cesspool of straight up ****e development houses. With your background buying a fixer upper in the best place allowing for construction in your budget would suit you best.
