    I was born and raised on Long Island, raised in Huntington Station. Had a house in Bellport. Sold and moved away in 2005 to Puerto Rico but now in Kansas, I miss Long Island very much.

    I have lived in Nassau and Suffolk Counties most of my life, but for the past 26 years have lived in Bayside, Queens. I think my area (called Oakland Gardens) is still affordable. We have express busses to the city, one goes up 3rd Ave and the other goes up 6th Ave. Its quiet, leafy, lots of parks nearby and I can hop on the LIE or NSP and go east at a moment's notice. I just came back from my local supermarket and saw some of my neighbors there, it's very much a neighborhood. I think my area is a good alternative for those who want the best of both worlds and I think our taxes are much lower here.

    I grrew up in Suffolk county near bellport/east Patchogue. My grandparents lived in Stonybrook. North shore is so different from south shore. After being away for almost 30 years , id like to come bscl but the housing situation is outrageously expensive. Even 2 bed small house is over 250 k and thats out in the boonies like wading river or something. And the property taxes are sky high but i do know ppl there still. Maybe i go visit and check around. I dunno. Miss the ocean and the bay.

    I lived my entire adult life on L.I. I just moved to PA. Not gonna knock the Island, great place to live. I have enjoyed all the beaches, parks and restaurants as mentioned in this video. I had a good paying job in the city so I could afford the high cost of living. Make sure you have a good paying job if you want to live on the island. One more con is trying to get off the island. You have to drive through the city and across 2 major bridges-talk about traffic and tolls. You can take a ferry, but that might cost close to $100!! Oh, and watch out for the plethora of red light cameras!

    Excellent video and very informative. As someone who lives in western Nassau county, I would only add that prospective buyers should consider the North shore if they have the means. As a long-time Long Island homeowner who has lived in various parts of Long Island, the difference in quality of life and amenities is quite different from North to Central to South Shore. More money up front to live in the North Shore but in my opinion well worth it.

      @@christopherrichards1025 North shore is indeed expensive and taxes are high. However, when you look at overall value, it far exceeds living in other places on the Island. I focus on the incremental cost of living between towns in Nassau county which helped me rationalize my existing cost of ownership. Bigger problem in my area is that there is little inventory for sale. Just about all of my neighbors are in their homes 25 or more years (including me). Once people move in, they don't leave.

    For all practical purposes there's only one way in and one way out - through NYC. There are some ferries to Connecticut, but they are not convenient or cost effective. I'm very disappointed they have never built the tunnel to Connecticut, and it certainly won't happen in my lifetime. It would tremendously improve traffic on the bridges and in the Queens/Nassau region.

    As of 1985, the US Supreme Court interpreting a maritime law case, legally designated Long Island New York as actually "Long Peninsula" New York. According to the Court, since the peninsula formally known as Long Island, is not actually an island because only a river (the East River) separates Long Peninsula from the mainland. According to the Court, a Sea or Ocean is required to separate and island from a mainland. Inter...esting!

    The worst part about Long Island is that the demographic trends are changing rapidly. Various ethnic groups are moving into certain neighborhoods in droves. The sense of community that once existed is no longer there. Having any meaningful connection with others is difficult; people are tribal and prefer the company of those that are like themselves. This is all on top of the expenses and other issues mentioned. Makes for a very impersonal living experience.
