I have been in New Dorp beach for almost 12 years and I really love it down here. It still has a "neighborhood" feel to it. I'm close to the beach, which I used very often until Sandy I see stars at night from my house,Miller field is close by, Gateway Park, the boardwalk etc... my commute to work is decent. Lot's of shopping. Everything you need is on New Dorp lane. You could live you entire life without every going outside the boundaries of Tysens Lane to New Dorp Lane. It's a great place to live.
Grew up in Eltingville, closer to Arthur Kill rd. It was ok. I would rather be closer to the Blvd.
I grew up in New Dorp and would love to move back, but at this point I'm more likely to leave this whole region in a few years so no sense selling my current house one neighborhood over.
As Thomas said, New Dorp still has that old neighborhood feel. I went to my old block's party last week and it was as lively and fun as ever. Lots of kids still playing and having fun like it was when I grew up.

I am going to have to move in a year or two. I need a bigger house. When I bought this place 12 years ago it was just me and the chick I was engaged to.We broke up and it was just me for a while, now I have new significant other and a 2 year old. The house is perfect for one person or a young couple starting out with a baby. We are feeling the crunch. We have out grown the house.
Not sure where I am going to. Most likely stay on SI,I would prefer to stay close to the blvd and not go pass Arden ave, or New Dorp lane. I would love to move to Oakwood. I think it's the best of both worlds for us. although NJ is a possibility.
The pictures remind me of the scene in 28 Days Later when everyone in England gets turned into a zombie and the main character walks around the streets without seeing a single person

I'm in the same boat with the size of my house. We turned the garage into a bedroom and the very, very small attic into my work shop so that we could stay here. It just isn't worth all the costs of selling and re-buying knowing that we will very likely move far away in about 5-8 years.
