What about those expensive homes in Somerset and Summerfield and The Colony - seems like some money going into the area. No?

I think Sachem might have to be looked at with CAUTION. The area seems have too many negatives: very large school district, the airport noise and pollution, influx if illegals in Farmingville, Ronkonkoma and Holtsville, lack of nearby shopping, bland boring neighborhoods, substandard public pool facilities, and anything else you guy mentioned.

Positives: you can get a lot of home for your money, the elementary schools are relatively good. Merrimac seems to be the best, but what about the High Schools?

Clamboy, What do you think of Middle Country Schools? Selden and Centereach?
NBres

Its that bad...
I wrote about earlier.

As for Middle Country Shools ..theyre fair.

I think we've covered the middle of the island in our previous posts.
It's mediocre at best (with few exceptions)and unfortunately in a rapid state of decline.

Shorelines seem have the fewest question marks long term.
It seems thats where smart money is gathering as the Middle continues to urbanize.

As I said before, I think you should consider Sound Beach if you willing to go to the same exit (63)for Selden.

I have liked in the Ronkonkoma area most of my life, it's a nice town. I'm not sure why the area is getting labeled as having an illegal immigrant problem, I don't see day laborers gathering on street corners around here.

Is there any difference between Ronkonkoma/Lk. Ronkonkoma in the Connetquot SD vs. the Sachem SD. Similar in makeup etc.? Would one be considered "better" than the other? I've heard good things about Oakdale but that would be that same Connetquot District, no?

My husband and I are very interested in Bayport/Blue Point and Sayville. Any opinions on those?
