different PP but "in" is totally correct grammatically. you're an arse.
One lives ON an island, not IN an island. Long Island IS an island. You are an ignorant bully.

Long Island is not at all diverse -- not in the way most people want diversity. I grew up in Dix Hills (Town of Huntington) and it was all white, Italian,and Jewish. My brother on his first day of kindergarten described the only non-white boy in his grade as "chocolate". There's a sliver of the school district that dips into a neighboring town and that's where the POC came from.

Manhasset is very culturally different from both Jericho and Great Neck. Are you an Asian from Queens?

I lived on Long Island for 35 years. The traffic thing is only a concern if you don’t live in Long Island.
I lived in South Shore in Nassau County close in to NYC. I took LIRR to work so never drove to work. 99 percent of stores were within 1 mile of my house. The beach was lie a 13 mile drive.
If I flew on vacation JFK 13 miles, LaGuardia 16 miles.
My car on average I drive 3k miles a year. Sometimes less.
Now my friends in NJ or Upstate NY think traffic is horrific on LI. But really it is going through Bronx of Brooklyn is killer.
We left LI maybe 2-3 times a year. (Not counting train to Manhattan)

Go for Old Greenwich, much nicer. Better schools too.

Long Island is a hard pass…..have you been? Sure, there are some decent pockets on the north shore but in general it’s just gross and overly commercial. Target the sound shore in westchester….bronxville, Pelham, Larchmont and rye.

Certainly Westchester has its appeal (certainly seems more easy to manage coming from DC) but have heard good things about the Long Island public school system and also wondering if living ON Long Island would allow us to test into the NYC magnet school system down the road without actually having to live IN the city. Long Island seems a little more diverse than Westchester (but maybe I'm completely mistaken) and this is important to us as well. Our budget is roughly 1m but could likely go a little higher.
We'll look into some of the areas that have been suggested. What are the differences between North and South Great Neck? Thanks again to everyone who offered helpful advice. Really appreciate it.
Only NYC residents are eligible for NYC schools. We don't have magnet schools anyway.

I return to Long Island to see family.
It is very crowded and traffic is always, always a thing. So hard to get across the bridges.
I would never choose such a trapped congested area.
Wow, are you me? That’s my exact same trajectory!
I agree with you about the traffic. It’s horrible.

LI housing is through the roof like elsewhere. High quality, very well funded school systems fuel the system like other metro area locales. When you are done with the schools..people look to move on from the taxes and the next family that needs the schools come in. And so on and so on.
If you don't need the schools, areas around nyc are much less appealing as the tax burden to finance schools that spend 30 and 40 grand per pupil per year is significant. Schools are great however. You get what you pay for.

+1. Long Island is a culture onto itself. And the traffic is no joke.
