East End of Fire Island ------------ most beautiful ocean beaches in NY state ---- full of marine life esp. this time of year.


Native brook trout swimming in the Carmans ---- lots of nature out there.


Wintertime comes breakout the iceboats.

An hour and 45 minutes by LIRR each way to Penn assuming no delays. That 5 minute drive will really make a difference.

I didnt really mean to imply that I saw this as a positive for NYC commuting, but I guess anything is doable

I just liked that the LIRR was that close to the house period.

Save your sarcasm for somebody that will actually find it funny, because you're wasting it on me...

So that is fine for you. Me on the other hand rather raise my family around diversity. The whole block doesn't need to use the same landscaper. And I keep my family both safe and I always stress education. But I always make sure they see the real world. Sheltered they are not.

Good thing the real estate is cheap enough out here so that I can afford both my boat, and still be in position to add on a small plane one day.

Conveniently located 1 block from the glorious William Floyd Parkway. What a winner!

It is nice to be able to take the LIRR to the Hamptons.
