$1400 is a little low for a 2br apt. Most 1brs are 1000-1200$ from my recent apartment search. I got lucky with my $1400br apartment on the south shore of Nassau but we were looking at a very small 1br apartment with utilities included in Great Neck for $1350. Not sure exactly about Hauppauge but this was my (very very recent -- within 1 month) experience.

There are a couple on Veterans Hwy a.k.a Rt 454 just north of exit 57 off of the LIE.
Check them out, but I think as the PP said it will be around $1600+ or so for the 2 beds, but it never hurts to check as these days the rents have been falling too, and they might have a move in special.

I do not know where you work, so I am giving you a couple of alternatives.
The Victorian Gardens in Holtsville. (Abt 10 mins east of exit 57 on LIE) The 2 br's are close to $1500 and they come with 2 baths. I am not sure about the maintenance and service standards, but that complex is HUGE !!

Colony Park in Ronkonkoma (abt 6 mins east of exit 57 on LIE) should have 2 br's a little more than Victorian Gardens, but it has just one bath. The maintenance is good, but you will not get the security deposit back (I am serious !)

The only two I know of actually in Happauge as you mention is Fairfield there is two of them on Vets Hwy and Devonshire Hills 1 & 2. Cant tell you much about Fairfield but they have a bad rep, and

Devonshire is very small and not worth the $$$$. There is maintenance going in and out of your apt like they pay rent, they dont clean up only once in the spring a few times, drugs smokers, and parties all times at night but they do have a pool in the summer

The people are nice until they get your money and then some they are nice to and other well lets just say not.

I am renting here now but soon as my lease is up then I am out, but if you catch them when they are empty you may get something for a little over 1400 but not 1500

The two mention one is Victoria Gardens, it is a nice place but the reviews are not great. I was going to work for them and move in the complex but once I went back to view and check out the area I changed my mind.
The complex is very large and it is own and mgmt by the same people and that is a good thing at times in that you would think they would take care of things, but it could be bad in that they cut several corners.

The other one I dont know too much about

Be on the lookout for apartments with brokers fees.. they typically want 1 months worth of rent (on top of security deposit/first months rent) for showing you an apartment.. it's ludicrous.
