Great Town but it costs a bit - 10/15/2011

Wantagh, NY is on Long Island's south shore, lying in Nassau County, in fact a few miles from Jones Beach. Unfortunately it is expensive to live here with taxes reaching unforgiving rates. Housing is pricey as well. The offset is good neighborhoods, fabulous publics schools, proximity to New York City, abundant public transportation, good municipal services, while near many cultural and higher learning centers. Shopping is good too. The weather is good although it is very humid in the summer, since Wantagh faces the bay and the ocean. Winters are not too severe but a blizzard or northeaster is guaranteed at least once during this season. Overall, Wantagh is a good suburban community but an expensive one.[read more...]

Easy to get around if you have a car - 7/10/2006

On Long Island (the Island east of NYC), a car is a necessity. While there is bus transportation, it is not as extensive as it was many years ago. The Long Island Railroad offers transportation into NYC and between some of the towns on Long Island, but then a bus or cab will have to get you to your final destination upon arrival.[read more...]
