hagi, in case you are unfamiliar with the local geography, I've sent you an explanation of the very, very confusing geography of "Lawn Guyland" as a DM (Direct Message).

Do you have a Budget or a pricing range, etc.?
I would suggest Port Washington. School district has high test scores (but remember: Motivation at home is the key to success in school), the population is 25% foreign-born so you won't be a standout, and the Port Washington branch of the LIRR does not go through Jamaica, which is a pro if your husband will be taking the train to work.

OP is clearly clueless.

I suggest the OP check out some general Long Island information before trying to decide where to live.

Wikipedia has a great page about the Island.

Really? That might be a bit of an exaggeration. It is fairly diverse though.
