Best neighborhoods to rent in New Hempstead?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but My partner and I are Median household income is $131,293, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -New Hempstead sits at 224.2 per 100K. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Chain restaurants dominate
