Ronkonkoma Train Station
Does anyone take the LIRR into NYC from Ronkonkoma?
I'm just wondering if you have to be a resident of the town to park in the lot at the train station.
Thanks!

Nope you don't have to be a town resident. I commuted from Ronkonkoma for 3.5 years.

Re: Ronkonkoma Train Station
Thanks!
I'm sure it's not a fun commute but we're looking at houses out that way and I thought the Ronk. line might be easier than some of the branches.

Re: Ronkonkoma Train Station
Thanks again.
We're looking in Medford but I thought it'd be easier to get the train from Ronkonkoma.

I live in E. Patchogue and commute from Ronkonkoma....it is better than taking the Patchogue Train... It is doable.

Re: Ronkonkoma Train Station
It's good to know I'm not the only one who'll be making that commute!
Now, fingers crossed that we get the house....

Re: Ronkonkoma Train Station
I'm going to do a test run tomorrow night and take the train out to Ronkonkoma and then do a nighttime drive by of the house we're interested in.
DH is concerned that it's way too long of a commute. But I'd rather have a long commute and a house that we can afford than a shorter commute and a house that's strapping us!

Re: Ronkonkoma Train Station
I did it for three years, it is very do-able. Parking is free except in the garage or in the lot in front of World Gym. Hopefully your schedule will allow you to take express trains

Re: Ronkonkoma Train Station
Yep!! You dont have to pay to park at the station, unless you are in the parking garage. there is one lot that is $4 for the day to park, next to the garage
I take a 6:08 train in the morning...of course I have not problems parking. I sometimes take the 7:04 and always find a spot.

Re: Ronkonkoma Train Station
Nothing wrong with free parking!
I'd probably be on the 7:04 - 6am is SO early!!
