Moved Back to Long Island

I grew up in Nassau County, moved to Suffolk, then to South Carolina , back north to New Jersey and then home again in Miller Place. Miller Place is one of the best places to live on Long Island. The schools are good , it is safe, and plenty of shopping. You can always find a less expensive "pocket area" to live with lower priced homes. Close to beaches, Tanger Outlet, Greenport is a nice 1 hr drive and Montauk is about a 2hr drive. The cost of living on Long Island is one of the highest. If you can afford to live here, it is good. If you have a commute to work, congestion is really bad and road rage is worse. For those moving from another state, the pace is hectic , stress is high ( note a Liquor store or Bar on every corner- I never saw this in the other states where I lived), and the children try to keep up with the other kids ( Hollister, Abercrombie, cell phones, Ipods,etc..). Materialism is big here. Big Bucks?LI OK !
