[SIZE=3]HelloAll,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I heard Deer Park is a good neighborhood totransition into from Queens since it’s a very diverse area and the schooldistrict is pretty good. We are still a pretty young couple (37 yrs old) wehave 2 kids, 14 and 10, and we are very active. I'm looking to hear from peoplethat live on Long Island since you're in the mix, different from me, anoutsider looking in.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]- How are the schools? (Robert Frost & DPhigh school)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE][SIZE=3]- What are the bad areas of Deer Park? (Ihear westside is better than eastside, North of the track is better than theSouth, and vice versa)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE][SIZE=3]- DP LIRR are there parking available after 8am?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE][SIZE=3]- How often is the LIRR not on time to PennStation? (people have been scaring me about this)[/SIZE]

Any reason why you are attracted to Deer Park? If you are looking in Suffolk, wouldn't you be better off in Babylon where there is an express? I had an ex-coworker who lives in Brightwaters near Babylon and he seems to like it there.
Deer Park is good. It's not really THAT diverse but it's diverse enough where you can get a taste of every culture. Would especially recommend the part within the Half Hollow Hills SD.
When it comes to Deer Park, I think it's fine all around.
I would say some parts on&near Bay Shore Rd can definitely be kinda bleh'ish; but I still wouldn't call it a bad area. I would say the area near Old Country Rd is the nicest lookswise.
Taxes are going to be high in pretty all of Long Island. Get used to it b/c i'm sure Deer Park still has lower taxes than most other LI taxes.

I feel Deer Park has a bigger bang for the buck as well as I heard the babylons weren't good areas. I will check it out.
I heard the Babylons were one of the places to stay away from... Some people have told me its in line with Wyndach & Nort Amittyville. Not so?
Whoever said that has no idea what they're talking about at all.
Babylon Village is actually one of the most desirable places on Long Island and one of the few places on LI that manages to attract tons of young professionals; countless people rave about it. North Babylon and West Babylon, though not quite as nice as Babylon Village, are still pretty decent and not bad places by any stretch of the imagination.
lol, they've been in the news in the past few months for a few isolated weird stuff; but I still wouldn't condemn the towns for that. They're still overwhelmingly made up of everyday ordinary middle class ppl.

lol, on the last 2 sentences. I will check them out too.
But, Deer Park over all is a descent neighborhood then? I have done research and had a few pass by's and all seems good but many things look good on the surface.

DP is not bad (at least not yet), but there are other neighborhoods in LI that would better serve the interests of an NYC commuter moving from Queens. Look at Bellmore, Massapequa, Mass Park, Valley Stream Village, Merrick and Babylon. I take it the daily commute from DP will be hard.

you should also take into account Deer Park Avenue traffic. It can be rough especially since they built the new mall. There's some good threads, i'd recommend searching more of the forum.
There is no issue with DP avenue traffic. I live in DP and deal with all of that and there is no problem. DP is very diverse. The people are very welcoming and you won't generally have any issues with the area. You have access to all the beaches in Babylon and you're in between two highways. Forest Hills the Babylon branch has it's draw back because there is no parking. You have to wait 3 years for a parking spot in Babylon
