Relocating To Long Island New York? A Great Place To Live, Work And Play!

Long Island, New York is home to many wonderful communities within Suffolk and Nassau Counties. There is always something to do and great places to see which means you will never be bored here on Long Island!

The Babylon area of Long Island, New York has towns that are still affordable to live in like West Babylon and Lindenhurst. Both towns are located on the South Shore of Long Island.

The average home price in West Babylon for 2009 was $303,103 with average taxes of $8,246 and this is for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home.

The average home price in Lindenhurst for 2009 was $309,792 with average taxes of $7,989 and this is for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home.

The  most popular style home in West Babylon and Lindenhurst is the Ranch. Homeowners these days love the one-level home with a basement for storage or for extra living space.

West Babylon School District and Lindenhurst School District are both great! My son currently is a freshman at the Lindenhurst High School and I know many residents that are also happy with the West Babylon School District.

Both towns are accessible to shopping and nearby Babylon Village that is famous for endless shopping and restaurants.

Hi Harry, Jones Beach is awesome! They also have the Air Show that started a few years ago. I love going to that! What part of Long Island are you from?

Jackie-what a great post about Long Island. I believe Southwest Airlines flies from Baltimore into Long Island. Maybe it is time to check it out?
