Community-focused Chamber of Commerce in Holbrook
Holbrook, 53 miles from New York City, has been known for its convenience since 1844, when the Long Island Rail Road first crossed the community. That reputation continues as the town borders the Long Island MacArthur Airport and is 2 miles from Ronkonkoma train station. “Commuters love living here,” says Norma Dispenza, a licensed real estate agent at Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty who has been working in Long Island since 2008. “You’re a little over an hour outside New York City by car or train.” Popular local restaurants line Main Street, and the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce organizes yearly community events. While many Holbrook business owners benefit from the active Chamber of Commerce, the organization also acts as a resource for residents, advocating for improved sidewalks, streetlights and other updates. The group is working on a beautification project and aims to add sidewalks and dissuade littering along the north entrance of the hamlet. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Holbrook's population was 27,220 in 2022. Most residents commute to New York City for work or work at local health care offices along Union Street. Holbrook is home to many locally owned businesses, and retail trade is one of the area's largest industries.

Commuters use I-495 and Ronkonkoma train station
Commonly referred to as the Long Island Expressway, Interstate 495 runs through Holbrook’s northern half, making New York City a 60- to 90-minute drive west, depending on traffic. Ronkonkoma is the nearest train station, sitting 2 miles west. Residents who live close to Main Street might catch a Suffolk Country Transit bus to reach the station. The Long Island MacArthur Airport is near the train station and offers commercial flights. “People directly under the flight path can hear the planes, but being close to the airport far outweighs the sound,” McKenna says. The Long Island Community Hospital is 7 miles away.

The Holbrook Chamber of Commerce hosts several community events, from the Memorial Day Parade to the St. Patrick’s Day Holbrook 5K run. Its most popular gathering is the Annual Holbrook Chamber Carnival & Festival. “The fair is every August, and thousands of people come out for it. It’s held at the Holbrook Country Club, which is a beautiful course,” McKenna says. The event provides classic end-of-summer entertainment, like Ferris wheel rides, funnel cake stands and fireworks. Religious holidays and services are held at local houses of worship such as the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Abundant Life Church of God and The St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church.
