I am thinking about moving to New York area. Is Shirley, NY (Long Island) considered a good place to live?

    Shirley, Long Island is a pretty good hike from the city, if that matters.

    About an hour on the Long Island Expressway (Distress-way as its called locally).

    It's in Suffolk County (one of 2 counties on Long Island).

    Shirley is on the south shore.

    In general the further North the more desireable (Hamptons being an exception)

    It's not a community most middle class people looking to move to Suffolk aspire to.

    It is however a working class community in a mostly suburban/rural setting.

    It could charitably be described as "affordable".

    I've lived in New York since I was five.

    Long Island is a very nice area, I love it. :)

    Not as busy as the city is. Kind of quiet.

    Shirley is a dump.
