Wedding planning is hard but figuring out where to live seems harder. Is anyone moving to Long Island from Queens? What towns are the native Long Islanders moving to? Thanks!!

Oooh, where in NC? I went to college in Chapel Hill and lived down there after I graduated for a while. My aunt/uncle are in Pinehurst and my parents (who live on Long Island) also have a house in Pinehurst.
I love it down there!

Thanks!!!! Ok here it goes: Wantagh, Massapequa (north, regular massapequa, and park - is there a difference?), Bellmore/Merrick (any difference betwn North or South?), Seaford, Commack, and Levitown
Yes there is a difference in the Massapequas.
North Massapequa is Plainedge school district, Massapequa Park is an Incorporated village (own court system etc) and then Massapequa. both of these are the Massapequa School district. I live in Massapequa Park with my parents...nice area. Many people live here and stay here and their kids stay here.....my father's brother also moved here when we moved here 14 years ago. Nice family neighborhood.
parts of N. Massapequa and Mass Park go to Farmingdale SD as well.
Yes! sorry I forgot!!

DH and I moved from Queens (he was in Fresh Meadows, I was in Jamaica next to St Johns University) and we bought a house in Plainview.
Its a really nice area and we are close to the Hicksville railroad station for commuting to the city for work.

I am from Commack - grew up there, went to Commack schools. Its a great area, but really expsensive. The house prices are coming down, but the taxes in Commack sd are out of control.
I grew up in commack too parents and sister are sitll there with my BIL and nephews
I am there every weekend - love it!!!!

Re: Anyone moving to Long Island?
What exactly are you looking for?
What is important to you?
Do you want to be in Nassau or Suffolk? Are you planning to commute to the city for work?
Are you going to have kids soon / want a great school district? What price range of houses/condos/coops are you looking at?
Long Island can vary quite a bit, so it all depends on what you are looking for.

Re: Anyone moving to Long Island?
I want to leave in an area where the commute to penn is no more than an hour and in a good school district. I would prefer to spend less than $500,000
