Amityville Condo for Sale

Amityville is a historic village on South Oyster Bay in the Suffolk County town of Babylon, known for its mix of remodeled Victorian and colonial homes along the southern waterfront and starter craftsmans and ranchers in the northern section. About a third of the properties are in federally designated flood zones. The village, famous for "The Amityville Horror," features two peninsulas split by navigable canals. Residents enjoy proximity to Jones Beach Island and Fire Island, with various beaches and three state parks less than 15 miles away. Amityville is approximately 40 miles, or 1 hour and 20 minutes by train, from New York City. Local attractions include Toomey’s Tavern, Brownstones Coffee, Small Craft brewery, and the Zagat-rated Vittorio’s Italian steakhouse. Cornucopia’s Noshery offers gothic-themed dining, while the Lauder Museum provides historical insights. James A. Caples Memorial Park, with its bayside beach, softball and soccer fields, and kayak rentals, is a popular spot, alongside Peterkin and Pearsall Parks on the northern side. Nautical Park, located at the terminus of the largest canal, offers docking slips and a gazebo. Amityville Music Hall and the annual Fall Musicale highlight the local music scene. The village also hosts community events like the Halloween parade at Park Elementary School and a yearly blood drive at Amityville High School. With five churches, a synagogue, and a mosque, the community has several cultural centers for residents.
