The neatly-kept homes and lawns showcase why this is one of the state’s most popular suburbs for professionals and retirees.

South Broadway and Stewart Ave. carry most of Bethpage’s restaurants and shops. Between the delis, kebab stands, pizza places, and sushi spots there are charming community parks to enjoy.
