All of a sudden FI came home the other day INTENT on buying a house! We're 2 weeks away from the wedding and he's trekking all over LI at open houses and appointments!
Anyway - he found something he likes in Levittown. Does anyone know anything about the area - schools, community, etc? It's on the south side on Hempstead Tpke, just east of the Wantagh Pkwy. I think they said Macarthur school? I went to private school all my life and am not familiar with the area?
Any thoughts, insight would be a tremendous help! Thanks!

Re: Looking for a house....!
I went to macArthur and it is not bad. I think the south side of Hepmstead Turnpike is much nicer than the north side. North side is Division High School and I am not sure about it. I know that everyone from MacArthur hated everyone from Division and vice versa...
The elementary schools are great... Salk was great too. MacArthur, when I went there, was fine. I am not sure about it now. It has students who live in Levittown (South), Seaford, and Wantagh and all of those towns are fine..I never hear anything bad about it

My sister is a teacher at Wisdon Lane Middle school. If that's where you're looking at, I can get more information from her.

I live in Levittown, but moved hereafter high school. My sister graduated from Salk and MacArthur, both were great schools. Levittown is a nice area b/c it is close to practically everything. It is centrally located and there is lots of shopping!!!

No advice though I went through the same thing as you, we signed the contract on our house 3 DAYS before our wedding (which was two weeks ago yesterday) so we were doing everything at once, too. I'm still exhausted! Good luck!

Re: Looking for a house....!
While levittown is a nice area, there are not many houses with basements.. And from what I hear from friends and REagents the ISLAND trees school district is not a good one...thats all i know sorry.. but good luck!

Mary,
LMAO - 'Total Woman' Yes, my sister is a SHA grad as well (but I think the Total Woman image left when Sr. Kathy left around 1987-1988). Let me know if you pursue, she can tell me a lot about the students she has…..

Re: Looking for a house....!
You guys are so funny about SHA ... as Mary knows My mom taught there during the Sr. Kathy years & told many funny stories about the Total Woman thing!
Do you remember when the guys came streaking through the caf? & on the gettaway one of them broke his leg?
