opinions on these LI towns? (Merrick, Massapequa: best town, houses, neighborhood)

[Lexismommy]

My husband and I attended an open house this weekend for a house in the Adelphi section of Garden City. I loved it, thought it was a great neighborhood, I heard the schools are top notch, which is important as we have a young child, and everyone seemed very friendly.
However, we do want to attend a few other open houses in some other towns we have looked at before making a final desicion. We have 3 next weekend. What can anyone tell me about the Nassau Shores section of Massapequa, the Wantagh Woods section of Wantagh, and the Merrick Woods section of Merrick. This is where we are looking next weekend. Thanks for your input!

I prefer Merrick, for the civic mindedness, and friendliness, of the people who live there...

Go with GC. For my money, it's the best town in Nassau. We looked all over. Schools, community, location, etc. I think it's great. I love it here.

Good luck with looking at the other towns. I'm sure they're all nice as well.
