Re: Tell me what you know about Medford

I didn't live in Medford, but I grew up in Patchogue-I like Medford, nice area.. There is a lot of shopping, pretty convenient to 112 and the expressway (depending on where you live) I have some friends that still live in the area.. I hope I answered your questions.. are you looking for a home in the area?

Re: Tell me what you know about Medford

we just moved to Medford - Woodside Estates section. I'm not that familiar with good/bad areas but we do go to downtown Patchogue for restaurants and on Saturday we went to the Gateway Playhouse. So there's stuff to do.

I commute into the city from the Ronkonkoma station. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get from my house to the Ronk. station and then it's approx and hour and 20 minutes into the city.

One thing we really like about Medford is that it is pretty convenient to most things - you can head out east or hop on the LIE to get upstate fairly easily.

I don't know anything about Medford, but I thought I would just add that a teacher who lives there says that the school district is having major problems . . .

Not a bad place, easy access to LIE, sunrise, LIRR.

Of course their are some sections that are better then others. I think for the most part it is a nice area, SD ok

Re: Tell me what you know about Medford

My Dad owns the laundromat on Horseblock Rd. in the Island Rec shopping ctr---- his store has been robbed or attempted to be robbed at least once a year since he bought it in 1995...twice at gunpoint. The most recent attempt was a guy that climbed up on the roof, cut a hole, and tried lowering himself into the office with a spelunking kit so he could steal the money from the change machine.

Dad has been trying to sell the place for over 2 years - no one wants it.

Medford Pastaria is also in that shopping center----best food around.

That area is not so great. The island rec shopping center has been redone but the surrounding area is not so good. The eagle estates is right behind there and although a lot has been done in that community it still is not great.
