Are there any parts of LI where you can score a big home for a cheap sticker price like you can in some southern states? (New York: foreclosures, taxes)

You guys are out of your minds. Before a pos like wyandanch ever gentrified, a place like Freeport, which has way more going for it, would have to gentrify. Be real. Reputations are hard to change on LI.
Freeport, and Nassau county in general, is just too suburban, and too close to NYC for my investment liking.
375k for the 6 bedroom in Mastic would be 1m in any other town. Mastic is literally the PITS. Sex offender slum lord heaven. If that's your gig, by all means, buy away.
No I clearly said I don’t know much about LI outside of Nassau. I was randomly searching the web. Thanks for the info!
I live just as close to NYC. So I both get it, and not get it, at the same time. Suffolk, unlike Nassau, is far away enough from NYC to have it's own culture, and be it's own niche. I'm more interested in being close to the Hamptons, the North Fork, and Fire Island. Investment wise that is.
They’ve been saying this for years about Wyandanch and nothing has changed. It’s still a crap hole. Wyandanch Rising has had no impact on anything. Housing in the area is still dilapidated and the streets at night are unsafe.
But sure, I’ll eat those words. Make sure you bump this thread when it does.
The West Bronx has nice architecture, it's no surprise to me that The Bronx is starting to blow up.
I don't see why Wyandanch will gentrify anytime soon, it's like boring middle American suburbia in terms of layout but crime ridden. Of course Bushwick was going to gentrify, its layout is very pedestrian friendly and it's exactly the kind of neighborhood that hipsters like.
Sounds like you didn't spend much time in these neighborhoods during the '80s and '90s. You not seeing why rundown Suffolk towns won't rejuvenate in 10 or 20 years makes me think they are a sure bet to do so.
