I live in a garden apartment complex in a busy part of Nassau County, Long Island, NY.
What I love about my location is that everything I need is literally within a mile and all walking distances. If I want to hit the beach, its a 10 minute drive. There's a nice community pool and park with tennis courts and a hockey rink- at a walking distance that I like to go to during the summer.
The best thing is I am just short of a mile from my job!
The only thing I wish I had was my parents to be closer (or vice versa!) and a small hole-in-wall grocery store where I can grab milk without going to a huge StopNShop!

. I don't own a car so this helps alot!!!
But it's a very interesting thing. It is a sort of concrete structure that's about three feet wide (walking space wise) and goes from a little beachy area all the way to what looks like an island. When I was there, they had warning signs up (because it can be slippery and dangerous) but they did let people walk on it. I think some people go there to fish. When my cousin was young, he met a girl at the beach and they went out walking on it, trying to make it to the island. The tide started coming in and the girl got scared and ran back to shore. I don't know if the water completely covers it sometimes. I'll check with some relatives and see if I can find out more specific information about it.
