I will be moving to LI soon with my two kids and am looking for areas that are diversed yet with a great schools. Nassau county and suffolk county no further than Smithtown would be ideal.
I resurrected some old threads when you were first considering LI. Are you still in the same budget zone?
We have decided we would rent first and see how things work out before buying. We are looking to rent homes either single home or town homes for $2600 a month.

There really aren't many "diversified" school districts- they tend to go one way or the other here.
Mineola, Valley Stream, Hicksville come to mind- with Hicksville probably being the best S/D of the group.
I told the OP that something like Wheatley Heights would be perfect, as it is a very diverse community in a very good school district(Half Hollow Hills). I also suggested Baldwin, West Hempstead, Malverne, Valley Stream schools, Sewanhaka high schools, Farmingdale, Rockville Centre and even some of the more pricy SD with some "diversity" like Manhasset and Roslyn.
SYOSSET is a very diverse community and an excellent school district.
