Mastic? New Construction

it's not the best nor the worst area!
there are some really nice houses there---some new developments........and some not nice areas----very large school district.........close to the beach/water..........

imo, not a good SD.

there is also new construction off Nicholls road just past Suffolk CC- to the north

they sign said 29 new homes $399K

I am so sure which school district it would be- maybe centereach?

You girls rock! Thank you for the comments. I am totally unfamiliar with most of LI so its hard for me to know what is worth driving out to. I had found such a gorgeous home in central Islip, but when we drove out to the house to take a look the neighborhood was really bad, which was such a dissapointment!

mastic is better than C.islip ---IMO

you'll get more for your money out there too......i don't feel the SD is that bad-they actually have nice facilies---pretty new buildings, etc.--I think that you can get caught up w/the wrong crowd in any school...drugs are all over......the more money one has the more expensive the drugs you can buy........ it is exit 68 off the LIE--pretty far east!

it wouldn't be my first choice for a home but it wouldn't be my last either---i have seen the houses out there and they are really nice........i feel there are good and bad in all communities.......good luck w/your search.....

It's Middle Country School District. Not a bad place at all.

I'm originally from the Mastic area - graduated from William Floyd SD - the area definetly gets a bad rap - especially from Newsday.

My parents still live there and some of my very best friends live there as well.

In my opinion the schools are brand new, and beautiful, my teachers were all very involved and caring.

I graduated William Floyd in 1999 and now I am a lawyer. - not bad for coming from an area with 'such horrible schools' - All of my friends graduating from wm. floyd are just as successful.

ps. - i've never tried a drug in my life (that's saying a lot more than most of my friends coming from 'wealthier areas' can say.)

haha

i hope this didn't come off rude...i'm just trying to give an opinion from the other side...

good luck house hunting!

I LIVE IN SHIRLEY. I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOME ON THE WATER AND I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT HERE. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE BAD MOUTH PEOPLES TOWNS. THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD EVERYWHERE. YES I AGREE THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS IN A TOWN I MIGHT STAY AWAY FROM BUT THAT DOESN;T MEAN THERE AREN;T NICE AREAS THERE AS WELL.

I agree with you....I grew up in Brentwood and currently live in Central Islip. My friends and I are doing good for ourselves. Two went on to be doctors, one a nurse, and I'm currently doing my Masters. It all depends on how you raise your children too and the moral values you instill in them.
