ok place to live but you still need $$$ like the G - 10/7/2007

if you can afford to live in the Greater NY/NJ area, Long island offers a more "civilized" family-oriented environment to raise kids. Housing slightly cheaper. Try the Bethpage/Wantaugh area or the w. hempstead or Franklin Square areas. Also, Woodbury/Plainview, and surrounding areas. Don't go northern LI unless you're rich and like living around gold courses, and if you go southern side, you're ok, just look around. It's still expensive all around for us though as we have 7 kids and make under 6-figures which is an impossibility for buying a home. Avg. housing costs around $500K for anything halfway decent.
