I live in Islip since 2003. I like it. I don't have kids so I don't know much about the schools. In General the area is very nice.
I am actually in Islip Manor. I am about 5 min from Dangs BBQ in Islip.
All the Islips are good aside from central. Just beware of the school districts if you live near the borders. Other than that, stereotypical standard LI communities. I would have no problem living in any of them(besides CI).
Islip Manor, West Islip and East Islip are all very good areas. Crime happens in every city in State. You will be fine in either of these three areas. Also there is nothing strange going on in any of these towns.
I'll say it again. Nothing wrong with Islip, East Islip & West Islip. Don't believe everything you hear from other posters. If it's so bad in Suffolk county we might as well live in a cave.
As far as I know, Islip is pretty decent. I especially like the downtown area along Montauk Highway, it is almost like living in a small town.
West Islip and East Islip are all pretty good. So is a smaller area called Islip Terrace, which is part of the East Islip school district so it does not get mentioned that much.
