Driving to Brooklyn, the South Shore is probably preferred.
To give you the more suburban feel in your price range, Lindenhurst and Babylon/West Babylon might be possibilities. Both Babylon and Lindenhurst have nice downtowns (Babylon is fabulous but supply in your price range is limited).
Deer Park has homes in your price range and it's not too far from Babylon Village for the "downtown experience", yet access to highways.
In addition to price, you'll need to consider RE taxes as well - have you given any thought to the max you can afford? Maybe talking to a loan officer will give you a better idea of what you can afford re combination of price/taxes.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. This area has everything OP wants
Northport and Greenlawn add at LEAST 20 minutes to your commute to get to highways. I would not even consider these to be within his search parameters.
For the record I didn't say Northport. Listen if OP is talking about Ronkonkoma I said these places were closer. I would pick a small SFH in Deer ParkBabylon/Lindenhurst/etc over a condo in Sachem. Nothing wrong with Sachem AT ALL except you have maintenance fees for condos and then you are dealing with another 10 exits on the LIE at rush hour which sucks.
Although the worst part of the traffic to drive to Brooklyn is in Brooklyn...
How about Inwood? It's close to Brooklyn and it's the cheapest town in the 5 Towns, but I think it's safe enough to raise a family. Does anyone here know much about it?
