Here’s what the website wrote about Massapequa Park:

The second-highest scoring place in Long Island, Massapequa Park provides an excellent setting for young families. The village’s schools earned a 9 out of 10 from GreatSchools, and 34% of households are families with at least one child under 18, the second-highest proportion in the top 10. Its location also allows residents to tap into the nearly unlimited cultural and economic opportunities of New York City, since a trip on the Long Island Railroad into Midtown Manhattan takes less than an hour.
