Are there any parts of LI where you can score a big home for a cheap sticker price like you can in some southern states? (Hempstead: credit, school districts)

If so I’m pretty sure most of you will tell me about Suffolk County. But please share with me? I know the Long Island suburbs is mostly old housing but any new plots of land being developed on as we speak?
Shirley, Mastic, Mastic Beach, Manorville, Riverhead.
G-Dale is always spot on. Follow me now, otherwise it'll be too late. Don't let a little riff raff scare you away. The schools aren't going to know what to do with all the new revenue.
Patchogue started revitalization a while ago. Houses are still cheap. The Mastics are a good investment if you turn it into a grow house, otherwise forget it.
Don't worry. Once they build the Nichols Rd light rail from Patchogue to Stony Brook with the connection to the Ronkonkoma LIRR and MacArthur Airport, Patchogue is guaranteed to take off.
Students with money? Not that many, and those who do have are spending it at the local Asian restaurants and Asian groceries.
Lake Ave in St James is the place to look in terms of business. It is becoming more run down, several businesses have closed. Right now not much can be done UNTIL the sewer program is put into place, which is pending the approval of the Flowerfield project -- almost all of which lies in the town of Smithtown.
Dude, there is no where to do college things in Stony Brook. Where do you walk to get your hungover breakfast on Sunday morning? nowhere. Late night pizza fix? Sorry, Station closes around 10 or 11 or whenever that guy feels like it. How about a place employees can go for a good happy hour? The Hilton? The bench?? Please. Anything else fun? How about an arcade maybe? Nope, nada. There is money to be made there. A lot. CAN YOU HEAR ME? THERE IS ONE BAR WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF A COLLEGE. HELLO.
In st. james you need walking traffic, because there is NO parking and nothing to bring anyone outside of the town in. You know what you need to bring people in? Alcohol. A bar. A brewery. Buy two store fronts on the same side of the street; make one a craft beer bar, the other pizza. Ok, it's st. james so maybe a bourgeoisie bar with fancy cocktails in copper cups and instead of pizza high-end fresh sandwiches and paninis, lots of avocado and other healthy things. Bring a rake for all the cash you'll have.
Do you have any idea how much money I would have spent in Hempstead for dinner if it was nice?
Interesting that you bring this up because IMO, I thought that Hempstead was similar to Far Rockaway in its heyday. And they ruined it the same way, making it a dumping ground.
You just end up shuffling the same type of people from one place to another. They have to live some place.
/\ Wow what an innovative idea. I’m sure nobody ever thought of that!!
The community has always shut it down. Whoever got this stony brook square approved just opened a huge door.
