NWR - Valley Stream

So I was wondering if any of you ladies live in Valley Stream? FH and I might be moving there, we are looking to leave queens and our 1 bedroom co-op. FH really wants a yard and a dog. What are your thoughts and opinions? Both FH and I had grew up in Queens so we don't know the area well. FM with your thoughts please, if you dont want to post!
Thanks!!!!!!!
