If you are looking for affordable housing to accommodate a family and needing free parking this is a great place. The walk to the train was very easy (3 blocks) and safe. You will pass a couple bakeries, Dunkin Donuts and a bagel shop to get breakfast and many restaurants for lunch and dinner. The Thai restaurant was very reasonably priced and delicious. The Rite Aid came in very handy as well. The train ride (LIRR) to Penn Station is 27 minutes. Peak hours will cost $10.50 per adult, $5 per senior and $5 per child 5-11 one way. Off peak is $7.50 per adult, $5 per senior and $1 per child one way. The added travel time was well worth the savings if we had stayed in the city.
I was hesitant at first not knowing the area and being a group of all women and children. I would stay here again in a heart beat. James was there anytime we needed him and answered all questions quickly.
