If you have any comments you willing share with me please do so. I am very flexible on areas. I'm open to other areas.
Thank you

I was in your shoes two years ago, I being cheap wanted to live in Mineola because you get more bang for the buck compared to buying in New Hyde Park (Herricks) and the school district was not too bad. But my wife's number one priority was school district so we ended up in Herricks. I have two kids that go to Center Street school and they absolutely love it.
The commute is 45 minutes to Penn Station from Mineola station, about an hour for me door to door. But be prepared to pay $6.00 a day for parking unless someone can drop you off. There is outdoor parking for $5.00 as well.
We ended up on a nice block with great neighbors, lots of kids on my block.
If you have any other questions feel free to pm me, we moved from Queens so I know what you are going thru.
