Looking to settle somewhere in the few months with my family. For now looking to rent but eventually buy a house. We were looking at towns in Long Island such as Garden City and Manhasset (35min commute to Manhattan), but also a bit further like Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Bayville, Oyster Bay. Any thoughts on these towns? Seems like Westchester (i.e. Larchmont, out of our budget for now) is usually much more popular for tech folks seeking the move out of NYC. Why is that? #housing #nyc #longisland #westchester
I’ve lived in both and would choose westchester. The people are less weird, and it’s easier to go on vacation/roadtrips when you’re not stuck on the island and have to fight to get over the bridges.
HPN!
You don’t want to be associated with people who have the Long Island accent.
Anything but Jersey
Where did you end up settling?

Are you saying it's better than everything, or better than only nothing? Big difference.
