If you would like to live close to NYC in an affordable, diverse and INCLUSIVE Jewish community, read on:
"LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION"! We are now the fastest growing affordable Jewish community attracting young Jewish families and singles of ALL denominations. If you are looking for a home in a beautiful unpretentious neighborhood with a wide choice of affordable expandable houses, check us ou
t. We are proud to be a diverse Jewish community! :-)
Fortunately, we are NORTH of the Nassau County Flood Zone. Nowadays, the majority of young Jewish families and singles are looking for a suburban life-style, but very much want the close proximity of everything that New York City has to offer. We are approximately 23 miles east of midtown Manhattan! This makes commutation (for work or pleasure) much shorter, less stressful and much less expensive. There are about one dozen Long Island Rail Road stations in and around our community! THE SYNAGOGUES SERVING THE GREATER FRANKLIN SQUARE-WEST HEMPSTEAD JEWISH COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONS:
