Hi all, I am new to the forum~
We are planning to get a house on Long Island, and need some suggestions from you guys.
I work at Downtown New York, and hubby works in Jericho. We have a budget at 400k, and so far Hicksville seems fitting us the best since it is LIRR major hub, in our price range, large property and large yard (we have a Golden Retriever who has lots of energy and needs a big yard to run). But I am not familiar with the area, and after searching on this forum, I am still not sure if Hicksville is a good area to live in.
We are not planning to have kids yet, and even if we do, we are not looking for top school districts. So, fair shool district is fine with us.
We found some nice houses in the area, and I want to know if it is safe to walk around since I have to walk my dog all the time? Walkable distance to LIRR station is what I wanted too, but is it safe to walk?? Also, Is there any park allow loose lease dogs or dog run in the nearby area?
Houses we like were locating inside of the grey lined area, any feed back in those area??
If not so good, base on our crietra, any other area that you'll suggest?
Thank you very much!
