[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LI is the part of the NYC burbs that doesn’t attract transplants who commute. Transplants stick to the beach areas/second home market. So culturally it feels very different from a transplant-rich area like the DMV. Nice parts of Northern NJ or Westchester like Ridgewood or Scarsdale would be more comparable.[/quote]

Long Island is quite large. Many areas, including the north shore, are not really second home markets. I grew up on the south shore in a beach town that is a wealthy second home market.

Great neck and Roslyn are more of what’s considered the north shore. Garden city and port Jefferson (not north shore) are probably more of the dcum vibe. I’d say more conservative than westchester, where I now live. Long Island has definitely gone redder since I grew up there. Personally i did not want to raise my kids there due to the shifting politics and the insane traffic to get anywhere outside of LI. While it will always be home, I prefer the suburbs north of the city. [/quote]
