South Valley Stream

A seller’s market on Long Island
The area offers Cape Cod and ranch-style homes with yards on streets shaded by mature trees. Prices typically range from around $550,000 to $1.1 million. Markets all over Long Island continue to experience low inventory and high demand, and South Valley Stream is no different. “Sellers are still getting a good amount of money for their homes, and there are definitely buyers out there,” Cherubin says. Pricing is key, she adds, noting that a home that’s priced right will find a buyer quickly. Renovated, move-in-ready residences with gleaming kitchens and bathrooms may even spark a bidding war and sell for over the asking price.Anchored by Green Acres Mall
Shopping is concentrated at the Green Acres Mall on the northern edge of South Valley Stream. It has over 150 stores offering everything from fast fashion to bulk groceries, such as Macy’s, Five Below and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Chain restaurants include TGIFriday’s, Chipotle and Chuck E Cheese’s, and smaller eateries like Birria Tacos. Key Food Supermarket and Aldi are additional options for groceries.Top-notch schools within a supportive community
Students can attend Forest Road School, which gets an A on Niche and serves kindergarten through sixth grade. Valley Stream South High School starts with seventh grade and gets an A minus on Niche. “It’s a close-knit community. Everyone’s pretty much involved if they have school-age children,” Cherubin says.A playground and tennis courts at Brook Road Park
Brook Road Park is a 1.4-acre waterfront park with a playground, tennis courts and walking paths. Edward W. Cahill Memorial Park is on the edge of the neighborhood, and Valley Stream State Park is about 3 miles north of the neighborhood.A 35-minute commute to Manhattan on the LIRR
