There are four counties on Long Island - Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Kings (aka, Brooklyn). Yes, Queens and Kings are now considered part of New York City, but they are geographically on Long Island.
Hi Robert! They are not considered part of Long Island because of their jurisdiction and legislation. This causes the price point and taxes to be highly variable as well. Therefore they are not considered part of Long Island residential suburbs.
Geographically, they are considered part of the Long Island, regardless of their governing body or tax base. Nobody who lives on long island that travels to queens or Brooklyn refers to them as going to the city. Most use the term city, only when going to Manhattan.
Very informative video. I can tell you spent time on this video.
thank you so much!
As someone who was born and raised in New York City and been to Long Island my entire life. Even though I don't live in New York State anymore, this is the most informative video about Long Island I've seen. I now know that taxes on Long Island vary by community.
thank you! we sincerely appreciate your comment!
Looking to move to Suffolk county soon for work at Stony Brook University!
Excellent choice! Shoot us a call or an email and we’re happy to help you out
Commercial traffic can also drive on the Ocean parkway and all parkways leading to Ocean Parkway from sunrise or Montauk highway.
Yes tat is true!
Don't come here unless you really love traffic.
that’s a pretty good point 🤔
Well the traffic ain’t the worst where I live currently (Tucson AZ), but the drivers here suck hard enough that I could not gaf less about what NYC metro traffic will be like
@@devincampbell5007 that sounds terrible man. Glad you don't mind traffic. Welcome!
Super informative!
Glad it helped you out!
Not sure what you mean about Jamaica, all the tracks are on one level. you either walk above or below to access other tracks.
Also, there is Ocean Pkwy, running from Robert Moses Causeway to Jones Beach connecting the Wantagh and Meadowbrook.
right, it’s multiple levels
I miss Long Island so much! Been in Arizona since 2017 because it was $650 month for a 1 bedroom apartment. How are the Apartment prices on Long Island now?? Our rents went way up in AZ now I pay $1500+electric!
right now depending on location 1beds could go for roughly 2k + utilities. Wild world up here!!
@@LongIslandHouses TY! Crazy! I’m about to buy a used RV & tow it with my truck to live in.
@@19tank81 which town were you thinking?
@@LongIslandHouses I grew up in Valley Stream/Elmont area, lived in Wantagh for 5 years before I relocated to AZ back in 2017. Idk tbh, might have to ask a friend back home to rent a room lol.
@@19tank81 funny, we just moved someone to Tuscon the other week. if you need us, you have our info!
Where you live depends on where you work and what your preferred hobbies are, also if you plan to attend local colleges. Not everyone works in ‘the city’, so all the part about the highways may not be pertinent.
I grew up on Long Island and it was a great place to live. Suffolk county, north shore is incredible, especially if you like to fish and boat. The downside is, if you like mountain retreats, or like to vacation OFF the Island, it’s a dog! If you work in the city but like to go to upstate or other weekend retreats, live in New Jersey! Airports? Ugh, both Kennedy and Laquardia are traffic nightmares. The Long Island airport is a small airport easy to get to when living in Suffolk but there are limited flights. North shore has some cliffs and lovely sandy town beaches. South shore is flat but you are closer to the ocean. I lived and worked in Suffolk and never had much traffic going to work.. my husband took the Northport LI Railroad to manhattan every day and it was doable for him taking a little over an hour door to door. The cost of commuting is high. Taxes are high. Home prices are high. I miss the beaches but I live 30 minutes from the Blue Ridge mountains now…. A good trade off! It’s so much easier to travel for vacation from here.
thanks for the comment! I completely agree with airport traffic. a lot of our clients from this channel that reach out are looking for city access 3+days a week so we figured we’ed cover it. I really like our beaches better than NJ. Even if you go to Sea side. do you commute to NYC?
@@LongIslandHouses yes beaches are DEFINITELY better than Jersey. I grew up on LI but moved to Virginia in ‘86, so never worked in the city. I taught elementary school for 2 years in Suffolk county schools. Virginia is my home now! I liked the fact that many towns were like small town living… Northport, East Northport, Huntington…
just watching this video overall you're def more geared towards the suffolk county area which i currently reside in. I dont think its overall quality of life is better than nassau county in my opinion living in both my entire life nassau i hate it but it is significantly more diverse, better opportunity. And in certain areas better on the taxes compared to the areas you're gearing towards. I personally like the hicksville bethpage levittown area its more suburb than suffolk it feels like ur in upstate when u travel certain areas is docile less opportunities higher on tax when your towards the water and overall food quality is trash
also not to forget water septic tanks can be an issue and expensive one at that.
we do love northern suffolk a lot. Chris just sold something in Levittown. could not agree with this comment more on taxes and the country feel of Suffolk in some areas
One thing that was failed to be mentioned for public transit access was the local bus networks that help connect the LIRR stations to the towns and villages that are not served by the LIRR directly, and also connecting towns and villages with each other for those that do not want/cannot use a car. NICE Bus in Nassau County, SCT in Suffolk County, City of Long Beach Bus in Long Beach, and HART Bus in the Town of Huntington (mainly north of NY 25). MTA bus also serves and connects with Nassau buses in the west end of the county/east Queens, and NICE and HART/SCT connect with each other, allowing for easy connectivity between the two systems. Fares are also really cheap as well. Buses travel on main local roads like Routes 24, 25/25A, 27/27A, 106, 107, 109, 110, 111, 112, 114, as well as many many others. Many middle island towns like Mineola, Hicksville, Brentwood, Central Islip, Hempstead, Lake Grove (Smith Haven), Garden City (Roosevelt Field) have bus hubs with connectivity to other routes and/or LIRR train access. Most LIRR stations have bus access. Only E Rockaway, Oceanside, Centre Av, Nassau Blvd, Oyster Bay, Plandome, Locust Valley, Bethpage, Westwood, Cold Spr Hbr, Pinelawn, St James, Speonk, and Westhampton do not have buses within a 10 min walk of the station. Every other LIRR Station not mentioned has bus service from one of the four agencies that are in Nassau/Suffolk Counties, whether it's On-Demand/mini or Fixed route bus service. TLDR, Long Island has buses that connect towns with other towns and LIRR stations for those that don't have car access.
that’s 1,000% an option. We’ve just found that people have preferred to minimize all the stops and save time in the AM
I live in MillerPlace it’s next to rocky point Suffolk county!
we love Miller Place!!
Sunrise highway and Montauk highway are not the same road. They are two separate east and west roadways.
People are leaving!
Too expensive!
It was a great place to grow up in the 80s, though!
thanks for the comment! I can totally hear you on pricing these days
Selden born and raised and own here. Everyone is leaving Long Island 🤷♀️
you know who to call !📞 📞
Dude! You are hilarious you STOLE a picture off my hometown of Cathedrsl City, California & you, as real estate agent had the cajones to post it as a Long Island spot? (16:51) That’s FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! Cmon.. who are you kidding?
Long Island does NOT have beautiful blue & purple mountains or lush palm trees along with bright sunlight! 😅
🌴🌴🌄🌴🌴
That scene is all from my backyard in California. You should visit sometime. 🎉..not lie about where it’s located.
we appreciate the comment, out do outsource a lot of our editing so that was probably done by mistake
Looking to Move to Mastic Beach, but its too expensive 😭
Thats a dump.. save ur money
If that is the goal, we can help you get there!
Brentwood is very safe and beautiful 😂
It is, Brentwood crime rate is 19.25 while farmingdale has a crime rate of 19.72. Brentwood is just as safe as any other town in long Island. And to be honest, there isn't a dangerous town on long island. Even new York City has a crime rate lower than the national average. It's just the news and racist social media that makes the perception that it's dangerous. But most long Islanders are not in touch with reality and live in their own world.
family style living 😊
We appreciate the stats! some of our clients prefer the area and some don’t but we always direct buyers to all statistics for their own reflection!
Why would anybody want to move to Long Island? Why wouldn't you just move out of the state?
sounds like a plan to us- and we’re happy to help with both!
@@LongIslandHouses good man 🫡
It’s a nice alternative to city living. That being said, after my30years is up with the state in12 years I’m leaving.
From a native long islander please stop moving to Long Island please and thank you 😂
@@mattc8347 lol love it 😂
This seems to be geared to the upper middle class. Most people in Long Island do not go to Manhattan.
they work local.
most buyers that have reached out to us seem to want proximity to Manhattan at least 3 days/ week but I hear what you’re saying
Lol. Every highway is trash in the city.
lol 😂 😂
