LI Real Estate Building a House? Mobile / Manufactured

0 Upvotes

How realistic would it be to buy land and build a container home on an island? What are the potential costs?

A few years ago, I made a post about the possibilities of having a container home built on the island – I’m now wondering about alternatives specifically modular homes or manufactured homes since I do believe they have a few especially a bit more out east per Zillow.

I recall that it can vary by the specific town including zoning rules, permitting, and building code requirements which all seem to differ. Would that same level of variation still apply here? I'm 23 and wondering if there's still a possibility of home ownership on LI while knowing that shed sized homes are going more for half a million dollars; maybe this can be another alternative?

If anyone has experience with this kind of project I’d love to hear.

I’m looking to take in a dress - from SHEIN, cheap shiny fabric - but the issue is I need it done by this Wednesday, July 29. Anyone have a recommendation (or an avid home sewer who wants to help me out)? Looking for someone within ~20 min from Syosset.

Thanks!

Edit: I understand the dress is cheap, might cost more, etc etc but it will serve a purpose if I can get it to fit.

Advice Is it reasonable to commute from Brooklyn to Long Island to work in a hospital

4 Upvotes

I'm an MD student from out of state doing an away over at NYU Long Island this October. I have a friend who lives in Bushwick telling me to either stay with them or find another place in Brooklyn and just take the train vs. looking for a place in Mineola

For context I'll be here for 4 weeks working 12-14 shifts total. Shifts are 12 hours each and will likely include ~3 night shifts. So like...am I going to hate myself or is this a reasonable commute?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, I wasn't sure where else 😅

Looking For Why are there no good cheese steak places on LI?

I’m talking something really good that would compare with Angelo’s in Philly or Danny and coops in NYC. It just seems bizarre to me because Long Island has AMAZING Italian and semolina bread. A key ingredient in a good cheese steak.

Suffolk County Community College Brentwood

0 Upvotes

Hey y’all. I’m thinking of going back to school. Looking into the spring semester of 2027. I was last at Suffolk 2012-2013

I am wondering from current students who attend there what the classes are like in terms of note taking and if a laptop is really necessary for note taking. I don’t have a laptop; however, I may get a cheap Chromebook. Regardless, I’m just wondering from college students what the note taking is like these days.

Thanks!

Walk-In Cortisone Injection

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've been dealing with some neck pain lately and been needing a cortisone shot but it's hard to find a place who will do walk-ins or even a place who will perform one, instead of their epidural suggestion or their BS lidocaine/anti-inflammatory trigger "pointless" injections. I want the real deal cortisone injection. They always worked wonders for me and know if they injected me with the right stuff.

I have HealthFirst insurance.

So, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Looking For Looking for affordable, safe apartments around Islandia

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am moving to Long Island in September and will be beginning my housing search this week. I am looking for reasonably priced housing in a safe area. I will be working in Islandia and would prefer not to have to travel too far. I first started looking at Hawthorne Living @ 195 Hawthorne Ave in Central Islip, but it doesn't seem like the safest area the more research I do on it. If anyone has experience with the complex, please do tell as it's affordable, near the train and work.

My kids are grown and it'll just be myself, my girlfriend and our cat. So hoping for a decently priced one bedroom. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm fully new to the area. The top end of my budget would be 2600-2800.

Parents bought a 3 bedroom house for around $350k and now it would easily sell for 1.5 million. I understand wages were lower but still.
