Anyone know anything about Island Park?

How's the area? What other areas is it near? What's the school district like? It looks like it's an area of nassau we may be able to afford! Thanks for the info!

Re: Anyone know anything about Island Park?

I just recently moved out of Island Park.. One draw back is it doesnt have a high school, the kids go to high school in West Hempstead.
It is right next to Long Beach and Oceanside, which are both really nice.. but very expensive.

ETA - I lived there for 3 years. Let me know if you have any questions or if you want to send me some listings, I will let you know if they are in a nice area.

I would say the Barnum Island section of Island Park is nicer than actual Island Park. The school thing is it's major downfall, other than that, it's decent- just ok...but West Hempstead is kind of far to be bussed to or driven to everyday when you're commuting from Island Park...something to think about when you are raising children...but my aunt lives in the Barnum Island section and she loves it. (I do believe at one time IP kids went to Long Beach high school, although that does not appear to be the case now).

I think IP has a choice of having their kids going to WH or LB HS...but i dont know if that is still possible.
