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? (Brookhaven: to rent, to live)

What happened? You got priced out of Bushwick? I remember hitting up the fake bodegas in the 90’s, getting those huge nickel bags. Too bad that crap was garbage sprayed with god knows what.
It seems unique. Not one of the usual plain old boring regular suburb neighborhoods of Nassau or Western Suffolk. Definitely seems like it's got character, for good or bad. The reservation could be the perfect place for my dispensary, or maybe even my sports book.
Tru tru
Well its worth taking a look at.

As far as gentrification goes, West Brooklyn and the South Bronx benefit from their proximity to Manhattan coupled with the NYC subway system. Travel is easy, and you can be to work or wherever in less than an hour. Also children can attend almost any High School in NYC. So comparing Wyandach isn't really apples to apples. Those rentals they built in Wyandanch Village I think was a great idea. They should try to build more short term housing around that area.
Mastic at least is on the water, so it could be a cheaper second home alternative to Fire Island. The trouble with the area east of 110 and west of the Hamptons is the poor local job market and the boring factor.
LI isn't self-supporting anymore, and Mastic is too far to commute to NYC. Many tradesmen working in Nassau live in this area. Rents at $1,500+ are still too high when compared to cheaper areas of the country.

Wyandanch is actually too close to Nassau for me. I'm thinking Brookhaven township. And I'd rather it not be an apples to apples comparison--that would be a silly investment if it was.
Ha. You will eat those words my friend......... It doesn't need business investment. It needs immigrants who are willing to buy in and achieve and turn the school district around. That CAN happen and when it does the home prices will skyrocket. I have seen it happen in areas I would have never DREAMED would be expensive.
Why immigrants? Brooklyn didn't start turning around because immigrants bought in. It turned around because whites bought in. The added diversity that young white professionals brought is what turned around Brooklyn. What you need first is businesses to buy in. When people see development. They see opportunity. Then individuals will buy in. But it's going to be hard to convince anyone to invest 30 years in Wyandach on a wish. You have to show them first.
