Great town - 7/8/2020
Desirable town. The beach is literally in your backyard and there are no bad surrounding towns, which make it very safe.
My neighborhood is a good mix of young families, working couples, and older families. A lot of people have a pet in my town.
Only negative is Wantagh’s lack of good restaurants and shopping. We find ourselves going to other towns, though it’s only a ten minute drive.

High Cost of Housing - 8/18/2012
Having lived in Wantagh all my life, I can tell you it is a great place to raise a family, as long as you can afford it. Home prices property taxes and make the price of entry into this wonderful community prohibitive for many young couples starting out. If you can swing it, its worth

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.

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
