My neighborhood is one of the best in Long Island. It is not to far from the city, so traveling is breeze. I can also walk to several forms of public transportation. There are excellent schools in the neighbor and the people are friendly. It close to all shopping areas and there are a lot of established businesses in the area. It's quiet and peaceful and not a lot of traffic. If you like to see a lot of trees, grass and clear blue skies come to Valley Stream.[read more...]

I'm so very disappointed in the rising crime here in Valley Stream. I've lived here almost 30 years and for the last 10 years or so it has been rising. The influx of people to this area has been unfortunately ones of poor character. Gangs in the high and junior high schools. Police rounding up kids outside the schools because of crimes they are suspected of, etc. The breaking point came around 2 years ago when my neighbors 20 year old son was robbed at gunpoint right down the block from home. This never happened here before. I'm moving as soon as I retire to a state and town that has a much lower crime rate.[read more...]
