lindenhurst? (Babylon, West Babylon, Copiague: houses, to buy, school district)

[vmargs]

My husband and I are looking to buy a house. I am addicted to MSLSI.com and I see that there are tons of adorable houses in Lindenhurst and the village for such great deals. Taxes are very good too. I heard the school district of Lindenhurst was good as well. I am just wondering if anyone knows anything about Lindenhurst? I feel like there is just such good deals and houses for cheap and keep thinking something has to be wrong ! haha. The village looks adorable!

THANKS!

Lindy is a good value...watch out for flooding south of Montauk and stay out of Copiague schools and youll be fine.

vmargs, bear in mind that many places with a "Lindenhurst, NY 11757" mailing address are not in the Village of Lindenhurst.

When you do find a house that you like, you can find out in which community (city, village or CDP) that house is actually located, which is oftentimes different from the community named in that house's mailing address, by using the Census Bureau's online address search function. (CDP or Census Designated Place is the Census Bureau equivalent for a hamlet in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.)

And, very importantly, among other things, the Census Bureau's online address search function also indicates in which school district an address is located.
