Massapequa Park is a beautiful neighborhood with beautiful, well-kept houses, friendly people and a good school district. Most homes are either split levels, colonials or ranch style houses. It has a population of roughly 18,000 people and boasts more Italian American residents, per capita, than any other town in Long Island. It is in the heart of Long Island and has easy access to Route 110 and Sunrise Highway where there is a plethora of shopping and dining options such as the Sunrise Mall (now know as Westfield Sunrise) on Sunrise Hwy. and a number of popular chain restaurants located along Rte. 110 and Sunrise Hwy.

The night life for adults leaves a little to be desired. However there a few bars and night clubs in the surrounding towns which are worth mentioning. There is the Nutty Irishman in Farmingdale which has live music and events along with reasonable drinks. And the Crazy Donkey on Rte. 110 in Farmingdale that also has live music and cool promotional events but caters to a younger crowd on the weekends.

The town itself offers many amenities to families with children. There is the Marjorie R. Post Community Park & Pool, Tobay Beach in Massapequa and numerous festivals and programs available throughout the year to residents of Massapequa Park. The amenities help out weigh cost of the ridiculously high taxes.

We are new residents to Massapequa park and have only lived there for a year and a half but we are so pleased with the quality of life and all that our new home town has to offer.
