With your income, you may not have a choice LIQUEST. You have to remember that. Some of the areas you are interested in you may not be able to afford and you may have to be flexible about certain things.
You're not going to find anything for the low $300s in Plainview, and if you do it's going to be real bunkers with complete renovations. I don't think you'll find much in the low $300 for Massapequa Park either, but I could be wrong since the housing market value has decreased somewhat the last few years for LI. I don't know anything about Bethpage home prices. You'll surely find homes for the low $300s in Levittown, but the Levittown housing style is not the most desirable.
If you can find a home in your budget, I'd pick Massapequa Park over Levittown in a heartbeat. It's a nicer area with better schools.

Bethpage you can get in low 3's but I don't know how nice of a house it would be. Def do-able in Bethpage & Levittown. Mass Pk with Amityville schools you can get low 3's too.
If I remember correctly you live in Baldwin and that's not really an area that we are interested in.
Don't disregard what LegalDiva has put out there about Bethpage. Do your research. I grew up there for 27 years. Great town but higher cancer rate than other areas and the water is toxic. Do a google search it's been all over the news. I know this doesn't bother some people and so be it but I personally would not purchase a home in an area that is known to have toxic issues and would never want to raise my child, knowing this existed. When my parents purchased their home in 1973, they had no idea. I have friends and neighbors who lived there when I did and they developed many different types of cancers. Including a childhood friend who passed away at the age of 5 to a very very rare form of cancer...and I and that child did not live in the numbered streets either. The plume is under I'd say 80% of Bethpage. They haven't even cleaned up the most contaminated area by the Bethpage Community Park. If you drive in the parking lot of the Community Park, there is a fenced off area that is not accessible. The soil behind that fence is the MOST contaminated area. So definitely do your research if you are interested in Bethpage. Don't go into it blindsided as most families who have lived there for years. They had no choice back then about knowing this stuff b/c it did not become public information until about 4 years ago.
And a $300,000 house in Bethpage will get you a fixer upper...so if you can't afford to buy a $300k house and fix it up, I wouldn't even consider the area to begin with. Good luck.
