Hello,

I am moving back to NY to work in Midtown. I used to live in Jersey City and have been living out in the suburbs of Chicago for the last couple of years. I am looking for some advice on neighborhoods in Long Island which I know nothing about. Ideally I'd like less than a 45 min commute and would like to live in a neighborhood with a walkable downtown but hoping for something that feels more suburban than Jersey City. It's just me so somewhere that feels safe is also important.

If anyone has any insight I'd be really grateful.

Port Washington could work for you

Are you looking to buy or rent? Budget is important here.

45 min door to door really limits your choice.

Depends on where he/she works in Manhattan. Could be a lucky person who works at Penn Plaza.

Buy yea, generally, 45 minutes DOOR TO DOOR limits you basically to North Flushing/Auburndale/Bayside and the co-ops in Great Neck (express train only).

Getting anywhere on Long Island in under 45 minutes is nearing impossible. It takes me 45 minutes to get to my fridge sometimes.
