Not for nothing, i have done alot of research, and RP seems to be great. It is not "rich", but it seems to be safe. Is there a part of RP that you are afraid to walk in? Where are all of these negatives coming from for RP?
I wouldn't sweat it.
I rented *gasp* in Rocky Point from 91-96 in what some people might consider the rough area. The area I lived in (Locust off Broadway) has improved since those days. My old house, the house next door, the house across the street, the house next door to it, the house around the corner have ALL undergone serious improvements since 96. During my time in the area, I saw bungalows being converted into bigger homes, derelict properties being rehabbed.
I thought nothing of walking and pushing a stroller from Locust by Magnolia across town to McCarricks and the PO Boxes. I used to walk to the laundromat on Broadway, too.
Back then there was some sketchy housing in the pockets between 25A and Prince, but that never stopped me from walking along Prince between Broadway and Harding (McCarricks.) There were some sketchy houses along King between Bway and Harding, too, and again, I had no reservations walking along the street.
What people have described on this thread (cars on blocks, unregistered, blah blah blah) I have seen in many areas on LI. Some people on this forum are trying to get Crooks' goat. Other people are talking without having actually lived in the area. My experience may be older, but I can drive back through my old neighborhood today and see the changes (all positive) which have occurred since my RP days.

If Crookhave is consistant, he will point out your opinion is null and void because your info is 14 years old.

I would agree.
I came later but the changes have been very,very positive.
It was rough here in the 80s early 90s...much different town today.
