As you can see from my previous post. I'm moving to NY from SoCAL!!!!!!. I have never been to NY before and I'm so confused..... So basically my partner will be a Professor at Farmingdale State College. I think I found the perfect apartment. It is located at 100 Stonegate Way Middle Island, NY 11953. It looks nice and is affordable. I do not have a job, and I suppose it could take me a year to find a job. So as long as it is a reasonable commute to Farmingdale we are good. More about what we like. We like areas that are less congested and have a big box store near by, some noise is OK, no kids so school district doesnt matter. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!:confu sed::c rying:

It's a hike to Farmingdale, because it's literally mid island and no where near the parkways or trains. The further east you go on the island the further you are from parkways mid island. He would have to take Rte 83 or Rte 112 all the way down to the Long Island Expressway and take that to Farmingdale. You're looking at a 50-60 min drive without traffic. Much more in rush hour. My cousin lives there. It's a VERY diverse neighborhood. The town is trying to go through a regentrification. She loves that because she's white and her hubby is black. The area you are looking at is decent. Don't go south onto Middle Country Rd there for your shopping. Crackheads roaming streets with shopping carts. I'd suggest you go north to Miller Place for shopping, west to Rte 112 in Coram for shopping, or if you are going to go south to Middle Country for shopping, head west into Selden to shop. Have you looked into Holtsville/Holbrook/Farmingville? They're right off the LIE (expressway).
However, I'm finding it difficult to locate an apartment that's not a basement for under $2k per month.
The main requirements is for the apartment to have a washer and dryer in the unit. We have lived last few years in SD in graduate student housing and I cannot stand shared laundry facilities.
It seems that most of the properties for rent on Long Island are either houses or basement apartments. The problem for us is we don't have time to keep up a house, yard, garden etc. And we do not want to rent a house and be known as the people with the ugly yard.

Sure! Holtsville has a couple of great complexes that are right off exit 62 on the Expressway. In your price range. You've got a multiplex movie theater and restaurants there, and Sunrise Hwy to shop. PM me if you want!
