Money magazine has named Valley Stream the best place to live in New York State for 2018. The magazine says the village is "neat, clean and safe."� This is the biggest Inc Village with 3 train stations, 3 high schools, tons of shopping , National parks, mins to beaches and 30 mins to the NYC Penn Station with the LIRR. As big as the Valley is, I love this town for the small town feel. We have local bakery's , authentic butcher shops, Mom and Pop spots that take you back to your childhood. The town is diverse in every aspect. To top it off, Its affordable when compared to the city and offers so much more! You can have your million dollar dreams right here without spending a million. Ask me I live here too....
