I am from LI NY, and live in Portland Oregon now. I also have a 4yr old daughter & would love to move back to NY. I know LI pretty well....As a matter a fact my dad worked at that Waldorf School in garden city when I was a little girl...I would have loved to go there but couldn't afford it. I would move to Garden City very close to NYC Roosvelt Field Mall is nice.....upscale area if you can afford it. But West Hempstead right next door is not so nice. Floral Park is very nice. There is so much more culture and fun things to do.....It's the best place to live!!! Good Luck!
What part of Portland? There's parts of Brooklyn that wouldn't be that shockingly different from some of the more urbane areas of Portland. A lot larger though. Creative guy like yourself would probably be bored in those other areas.
