What can you tell me about Nesconset?

So, haven't these things helped you close in on an area to live that will work for both of you?

$20k+closing costs on a decent, modest home sound realistic.

I love Nesconset. It's a really, really nice place to live. Quiet, safe, well-maintained and convenient, yet it has a modest, down-to-earth quality. What lacks in square foot in our neighborhood is more than made up for in pride of ownership. If you can get a house north of the Lake Ronkonkoma watershed I would suspect your water table concerns would be lower, but people who have lived here longer would know better than I.

Originally we were partial to a house in the southern part of Nesconset zoned for Sachem SD. Though it was a beautiful house, it was clear there would be water table issues plus complex (and with complex comes expensive) septic needs in the future. We went with a house further north zoned for Smithtown SD and are very happy with it. As you head north, homes become more expensive though, and Smithtown SD taxes are generally higher.

Thanks for sharing.
