Amityville,Babylon ,Long Island Ny ,help

[bigeasy1]

A question for any of you on Long Island NY.My son has been offered a transfer with his company to Either Chicago,or Long Island NY.
He has ruled Chicago out,as he wants to be closer to us(family)in Massachusetts.
His office will be in Amityville,Long Island,and he would like to be within a reasonable drive from work to home.He has kind of looked in the Babylon area,but I'm sure there's other areas that would also be good.

Anyone have any info on nice areas around that location.He's figuring that he can spend around 400,000 on a house.It looks like real estate is still very pricey there.Is it better to go further east?

Now the good thing,He wants to get a boat.He fished with me during his younger years,but grew older,got married,and got away from fishing.
Now that he'd be close to the ocean,he wants to get a boat,and his wife is even ok with it.
I figure what better boat than a SeaCraft,and now that i have done mine,maybe we could eventually pick one up for him,a 23 for sure.It would be great to have two SeaCrafts in the family.

Hows the fishing in that area? any info would be helpful,thanks guys.
