Finding assisted living facilities on Long Island isn't hard. After all, this four county island is bigger than Rhode Island and more populous--over 7 million residents--than Ireland. The hardest part may be deciding where on Long Island you want to live--and how to afford it. Figure those two things out and retired life on Long Island will not disappoint. Let's look closer at life on this 118-mile long island along the Atlantic coast. Long Island is expensive.
The cost of living, for example, is 50% higher than the national average. The primary reason is the price of real estate. The cost of property varies widely from neighborhood to neighborhood on the Island. For example, in Medford, the average recent home sales price was $181,000; in Brooklyn, it was $517,000. An assisted living community in Kew Gardens will cost $5,500 a month; in Glen Cove $4,350. With these high costs come the many benefits of living in the world's cultural hub.No matter where you are on Long Island, getting around will be easy.
New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will take you anywhere on the Island, into Manhattan and connect you with neighboring states. You could eat at a different restaurant every day for a year and barely dent Long Island's dining options. Greek, Hungarian, Chinese, Italian, Kosher, Indian, and Polish are just some of the cuisines you'll find. Every neighborhood in every hamlet has something tasty. To burn off all this amazing food, the active senior will find plenty of outdoor options: cross-country ski in Christopher Morley Park; golf on the over 100 private and public courses; bike on more than 200 miles of trails like the Central Suffolk Bikeway; spot Magnolia Warblers on Hussing Pond; fish on Long Island Sound for bluefish and striped bass; sail to the old whaling port of Sag Harbor.
Long Island has hundreds of cultural activities:the 62-acre Garvies Point Museum and Preserve, Clark Botanic Garden, the Nassau County Museum of Art, and the Sagamore Hill (Teddy Roosevelt's home) National Historic Site just to name a few.
