Floral Park Long island vs Floral park NYC which has better school? (Van Buren: houses, neighborhood)

[ken62310]

Hi,
I have been looking a few houses in the area.
both school district seems to have great schools.
Just wondering which one would be better?

I think the NYC side is school district 26 which is well regarded.

lower property taxes AND better schools in NYC. It's quite funny.

FP NYC is fine until high school. Would not recommend Martin Van Buren High School.

NYC high schools are not zoned anymore so it does not make a difference

Add city income tax and this administration’s desire to return to the age of bussing and it’s not such a good deal. I wouldn’t live in the city for any amount of lower property tax. School doing well? Well, we’ll just bring in the kids from the crappy district next door.

I guess the biggest question is your ethnicity or how comfortable you are being in a neighborhood with a huge majority of a certain ethnicity.

Floral Park Queens is basically Bellerose and is primarily Indian and Pakistani.
Floral Park Nassau is primarily white.

I thought you didn’t like threads talking about race but yet here you are chiming in head first.
