Shhh...don't tell everyone. I like my little middle-class village the way it is! I am so thankful my husband and I chose this place almost 20 years ago to raise our family. And that when all our friends were "moving up" to "better" areas/school districts that we stayed put. I may not have the fanciest home, or the largest lot or even a waterfront view...but I can afford where I live and take my family on yearly vacations without going into debt (gotta love Southwest!). Lake Ronkonkoma has turned out to be our family's "American Dream." If everyone else felt the same way, it'd be way too crowded and expensive. So, we'll just keep this centrally located village our little secret...
Um have you driven down Portion Rd lately? Lake Ronkonkoma is too crowded. I'm in the Lake Hills section of Ronkonkoma....Connetquot District....like it so much better (I graduated from Sachem). It's smaller than Sachem. My kids are doing great in school and I couldn't ask for better teachers......wish I had some of them when I was in school.
