Hi, I don't know if anyone can offer insight, but I originally started a forum about Sayville/Oakdale area. We really like the area, but now that my husband has landed a job with the city union we are thinking about Nassau instead. I dont know a thing about Nassau and we really fell in love with Sayville. Is there anything in Nassau like that? I've heard good things about Seaford, Wantaugh, Bellmore and Great Neck. We are looking to buy a house no more than 450K, we have 2 girls so of course safety, schools and "family" atmosphere is crucial. Would love to hear from anyone.
Thanks
Hey thanks for all the input. Any other areas that anyone can suggest to live in on the south shore? My husband is driving thru Bellmore, Merrick and Wantaugh as we speak. keep then coming
All of the towns in that corridor are fairly close - Merrick, Bellmore, Seaford, Wantagh, etc. and you can't go wrong with any of them. Merrick and Bellmore have the better schools of the lot.
As other posters have stated Great neck is completely out of the question at $450,000. Any of the south shore communities mentioned above, Merrick, bellmore, Wantagh, Seaford as well as Massapequa and Masssapequa Park should be good areas to check out, have homes in the price range your looking for, safe and has good schools.
thanks everyone we are checking it all out now. my husband drove thru some of the areas. still very torn tho, really liked sayville and oakdale which also have good schools and neighborhoods.
Massapequa comes from an old indian word meaning "nearby the mall".
