Thank you for all your responses. Though I was really referring not to home prices, property taxes, school districts and the like but rather to the kind of shopping and services that the OP started the thread with and others commented on: supermarket prices, dining prices, mall prices, and provisions of other shopping and related services. Sure it may vary between locales, just like in Nassau County (the Hamptons versus Farmingdale or East Farmingdale vs. Amityville vs. Huntington Village vs. Babylon Vilage vs. Bay Shore vs. Brentwood vs. Copiague vs. Lindenhurst vs. Commack vs. Smithtown vs. East Northport and so on and so on). But would you say that the
whole of Nassau
overall is more costly for these shopping and services than the
whole of Suffolk
overall? Or rather that, in the end, it all evens out for both counties?
Again, I'm not addresing home prices, property taxes, school districts and the like but only shopping, dining, and other provision of services.
