Bay Shore Reviews

Write a review about Bay Shore Tell people what you like or don't like about Bay Shore…
Expensive! 0.5 rating By amiebaby117 ( Mar 19, 2013) What I honestly think of Bay Shore. It has potential to be a very nice town. I have lived here all of my life. There are many amenities and it is only minutes away from the beach. The unfortunate thing about Bay Shore is the horribly high property taxes. School tax alone ...Read More can wipe a person out. For the money we pay in taxes one would think that the road would be paved in gold. Our road are a disgrace! Snow removable was a joke. Town officials are ripping off the people of not only Bay Shore but all of Long Island. I would not recommend moving to Bay Shore unless you make well over $150,000 a year and do not mind your children going to medioka schools. Read Less
