Roslyn Heights, Manhasset Hills (Hempstead, Merrick: house, schools, vs.)

[N2g]

We are looking at homes in Roslyn Heights and Manhasset Hills. We like Manhasset Hills more but the school is Herricks vs. Roslyn Heights goes to Roslyn. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

[suzook]

herricks is very good. Go with Manhasset Hills

If you look in Roslyn Heights, try to keep near the "Country Club" area - - thats if you have the $$$ for it. Some areas in Roslyn Heights are sort of dodgy....but it is a very quiet area with more hideous McMansions than probably anywhere else on LI.

Also, before you look, do a serious google earth search for your house as many homes in RH border on either LIE Service Roadways, Main Boulevards (Roslyn Rd., IE Willets), or are waaay too close to the LIRR train tracks!!!!
