Wantagh Ranked 7th Best Place for Young Families in NY

According to a recent study by finance website NerdWallet, Wantagh is the seventh best place for young families in New York.

Of the top 10 places on the list, six of them are on Long Island. In putting together its rankings, NerdWallet says it considered home affordability, prosperity and growth, family friendliness and quality of education.

Here’s what the website wrote about Wantagh:

With over a third of households having at least one child and a school system that earned a 9 from GreatSchools, Wantagh provides a close-knit, family friendly community, but with quick access to the economic and cultural amenities of the city. Young families will especially love the easy escape during hot summer days to Jones Beach, which is only seven miles from the center of town.

Seaford came in at 29th on the list. See the full rankings and read more about the study here.
