We are focusing on Brightwaters/Babylon/West Islip. Any thoughts? DH fell in love, and I am happy he's willing to go that far out east.
We live in CT, his family is in CT, and he works in the city. I work in Bethpage (commute from CT everyday), and my family is in Bellport. So, geographically, I am thrilled.
Advice on schools, areas to look at or avoid?
Have any of you done short sales or foreclosures? We are thinking about those, as well.
TIA

Brightwaters is really nice but I think it might be Bayshore schools and Im not sure I'd want my kids to go there.

I love Sayville, but am lucky I got him this far out. He was talking Rockville Centre/Long Beach area originally. So, this is a big victory for me, to get him out there. And, he has to commute to the city

West Islip has a great school district. Babylon's is nice too. I student taught in West Babylon, its ok, but I would go to Babylon. Babylon town is a little more pricey though, I think because of the direct trains to the city.
I LOVE Brightwaters but I am not thrilled with Bay Shore schools. I wouldn't really buy a house there.
Islip is good, East Islip is a great district and I love this town... my neighbor's house should go on the market soon.
As for areas in these towns I wish I could show you on a map. If you want more details e-mail me. Born in raised in EI, my best friend was from WI and I had tons of friends in Brightwaters so I am extremely knowledgeable about these areas.

Thanks Michelle. How big is your neighbor's house? I should come visit and we can avoid the real estate agent all together!
