I wouldn’t live in Freeport - with or without kids - but that’s my own preference. Baldwin schools are not terribly high rated but they’re ok & better than Freeport.

Yes, I asked because I actually met a young lady that was attending school up here that lived in Freeport in a portion zoned for Baldwin Schools(she was wearing a Baldwin varsity jacket at the time).
I’ve lived in Baldwin (as well as various other towns on LI) & I will say that the ppl there are great, really care about the town & have a vested interest in improving it.
I would much prefer a Baldwin over Oceanside, even though Oceanside is more aesthetically pleasing, I think the location sucks and it’s so congested in that area. Oceanside is not close any parkway or any main road other than Long Beach Rd, Austin & Lawson. It feels kinda trapped.
of course the parts of Baldwin that you recommended are pretty much just as landlocked as most of Oceanside.
here's a suggestion - check out the part of RVC that is zoned for Oceanside schools (generally near Lincoln Ave and Rockaway Ave. south of Merrick Rd). There are several good looking homes/blocks in that area that sell at a discount compared to homes zoned for RVC schools. Many are within walking distance of "downtown" RVC and LIRR. And you don't have to worry about flooding. Or consider the northern part of Oceanside (north of Foxhurst/Atlantic).
It's "cue" not "queue" (a "queue" is a line "I was waiting in the queue").
Ha! I changed it too. Still applies, how long ago has it been since you moved?
I agree Oceanside is congested and for 1mil it wouldn’t be a consideration, but for 750k it’s not a terrible choice if you are interested in the lifestyle.
they're just as landlocked - and when residents want to leave those areas, the main roads are no picnic.
I still think Atlantic Ave is heaps better than any part of Long Beach Rd
