Turns out my sister was talking about Babylon and not West Babylon. Regardless though, we're going to look at a few places in Massapequa- I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks again for all of your help!
We almost made an offer on a house in Massapequa park, but it was a bit too close for our liking to Amityville and also in the farmingdale school district.
By any chance, does anyone know about the Westbury school district/neighborhood?

Somebody can correct me but Westbury school themselves are pretty rough, although Old Westbury (which is billionaire row) is the Wheatley school district and quite competitive/pricey.

Hey everyone! This is my first post and I found this forum while searching for answers.
My family lives in Massapequa. My fiancee and I are looking to move to Long Island within the next year (or sooner, hopefully). We aren't set on living RIGHT near them.
Right now, we're looking on spending about 500k on a home. Obviously we would like to get as nice of a house for our money as possible (it seems I always like the 1 million dollar plus homes ). We also want nice amount of land, for our dog... and just because we like having land.
Growing up and living my whole life in NYC, I am dying to have space! LOL!
We do not mind going out to Suffolk county if we find an area that is wonderful. Basically we want a great area with good schools as we will be having kids in the next 5-7 years. Granted, we may move by then to get a bigger house, so who knows. (My fiancee owns a home we won't be selling for a few more years... but this is our first house together)
We want an area that isn't close to bad areas. Granted, I could be paranoid living in a slightly "changing" area in Brooklyn (Marine Park/Mill Basin). I just don't want to have to worry about the same things I worry about here. And though I know crime can happen anywhere, I'd just like to minimize our chances and have a good quality of life.
Additionally, I can't live anywhere where the altitude is too high (I know, it sounds crazy) because my BIL who I am very close with, has meniere's disease and cannot travel through anywhere very elevated. My sister and BIL live in Massapequa.
Currently I work in a territory ranging from Far Rockaway, Queens to Rockville Centre/Baldwin areas. So I'd want to say within an hour or so of these areas- but I can always transfer my territory, so it's not my deciding factor. My fiancee will probably get a new job close to wherever we move because his career is in high demand everywhere. North Shore/South Shore doesn't matter to me as long as the area is great.
Can anyone give me advice? Tell me what I should be looking for? I really don't know where to start!!!!
Try Baiting Hollow or Wading River...look for a cape style home! that will expand as you need to!
I haven't looked into Biltmore Shores. I guess I should! I know Wheatley Heights isn't an area we'd want to be in... I just thought it was bordering Dix Hills, not Westbury. I'm so lost!!!

Wheatley was in reference to the school district for the well-healed area of Old Westbury, and some other neighboring parts. Very strong, and very wealthy. Wheatley Heights, the town, not very desirable.
