I feel torn when it comes to house hunting because I'm unsure if the school district will matter - will we be there by the time our kids are school aged? My fh is all about a smaller starter house - I'd like to buy a forever house in a good area that I don't predict will change.

My fh works in Oceanside and I work in Astoria and we live in Flushing. Both of us have about a half hour commute. My parents live in College Point and I know I will be using my mom as my children's day care provider and I know I want to stay at my current job so I'm trying to pick towns that aren't ridiculously far away to commute from house to College Point to Astoria and then back every day.

We are looking in Lynbrook, RVC, Long Beach and Oceanside and I'm unsure about all the school districts. Also, how good are the Valley Stream schools - does anyone know that?

This is such a stressful process!

I live in Valley Stream and I say dont move here. Schools have gone down and Im glad Taylor has only 4 more years. Where we are isnt soo bad, just not like they used to be when I went.

---

If you say it, then I believe it. Maybe we'll just stick to Oceanside, Long Beach, Lynbrook then.

I've heard Lynbrook schools are good but Lynbrook addresses with Malverne schools aren't great.

I just bought in Bellmore...North Bellmore actually. Ideally, we wanted to be in Western Nassau and North Shore but tax wise, it just wasn't do-able. Plus I couldn't see paying substantially more for a house that needs work on the north shore when I could buy something for less on the south shore thats move in ready.

Important things to us were a big kitchen, good school district and a good yard for entertaining! We also needed to be by the LIRR because we both work in Manhattan.

Most of the districts on the North Shore are fantastic...but south shore wise

Merrick
Bellmore
Franklin Square
Rockville Center

If you have no issues being further out in Nassau, Massapequa, Mass Park, Wantagh, Seaford....are all good.

Long Beach and Oceanside are also nice :)

---

I heard Rockville Centre was changing and that it wasn't so great anymore. Is this true, or is it still good?

For the sake of our jobs, we can't go too far out. You've found houses in Massapequa with taxes under $5,000? I originally started looking there but the taxes were pretty high and it was just too far from Queens for us.

---

yes, just looked now, and found a house in mass with taxes at 5200
