Good School District w/ a decent commute to the city?
Dh and I have been looking for homes but haven't been able to find anything we really love. I was hoping we could expand our search but I didn't know what other towns had a decent commute to the city but also in a good school district.
We've looked in Garden City, Syosset, Plainview, Merrick, New Hyde Park ....
Anyone have any other suggesstions. I know it sounds crazy that we can't find anything but there are nice homes just nothing we love 
If anyone has any suggestions I appreciate it.

Oceanside is a good runner up to RVC, still close, good school district, and we are only 10 min walk to train station.

Re: Good School District w/ a decent commute to the city?
if you are taking a train into the city...have you considered port washington (or anything along the port washington branch)?

Re: Good School District w/ a decent commute to the city?
I don't think you could go wrong with Rockville Centre - Merrick - Bellmore - Wantagh - Seaford - Massapequa.
All are about a 40-60 minute train ride into the City.
Plainview-Old Bethpage is a very good district and if you could afford Garden City or Syosset - both of those are excellent districts.

I was also going to suggest Port Washington line. It's great b/c we don't go through Jamaica.

Re: Good School District w/ a decent commute to the city?
so much depends on what you can afford to spend on a house but in addition to some of the ones mentioned, I would also recommend
Herricks (covers parts of New Hyde Park, Williston Park, Albertson and Roslyn Heights).

Re: Good School District w/ a decent commute to the city?
not sure if this is too far, but harborfields (greenlawn/huntington - centerport is a decent trek to get to the train station) and half hollow hills (dix hills - wyndanch station) SDs are great and about a 60 min LIRR ride.
we are in harborfields and DH doesn't go in everyday anymore - but he used to for years. express trains are 50-55 minutes

Re: Good School District w/ a decent commute to the city?
Thanks for all the suggestions. Anyone know anything about East Norwich? I know you can take the Syosset or Hicksville train.
How's the town? and the commute?

ITA! We were looking for the same things (i.e., good schools, good commute) and we ended up here too! We're very happy!

It sounds a little far but my commute to NYC was only an hour on the express train (and I loved the sleep), I commuted from Northport to NYC for almost 12 years.
