Lake Grove is a charming Long Island village with history
In the early 1900s, Lake Ronkonkoma was a popular summer destination for New Yorkers. Thanks to large numbers of visitors to the resort, it launched a home-building cottage industry, so to speak. Initially, most of the construction in the area consisted of vacation bungalows. But when soldiers returned from serving overseas after the World War II, many flocked to Long Island, where a major residential building boom was underway. Lake Grove, just north of the lake in the Town of Brookhaven, was a rural area with a few homes, a post office, a train station and a grove of lakeside trees. In 1968, more than 500 locals voted to incorporate Lake Grove. This designation gives the village better governmental representation and more control over the community bylaws, including appearance, how tax dollars are spent and land-use issues.
There are pros and cons to incorporating a neighborhood. On the one hand, costs may go up since many maintenance and infrastructure issues are shifted from township control to the village. On the other hand, a village has more control over new construction, permitting and community aesthetics. A few years after Lake Grove was incorporated, a group of residents lobbied to reverse the decision. They lost. Since then, there has not been a concerted effort to undo the community’s status as a village. If anything, residents of Lake Grove have become even more united.
The peaceful north corner of Lake Grove and its surrounding neighborhoods are in the midst of plenty of greenery and trees.

Bungalows, ranch-style homes and how the village stays close-knit
Karen Roth, a licensed associate broker with RE/MAX Integrity Leaders in Centereach, describes Lake Grove as a close-knit community where neighbors are always looking out for one another. “The village is instituting new laws and tighter restrictions on rentals,” says Roth. “For example, you can’t buy a house to rent it out. You must live in the house for a certain amount of time first. And the village is developing stricter regulations on accessory apartments.” The goal is to keep Lake Grove affordable and the community appealing for the homeowners currently residing there. Homes in Lake Grove fetch anywhere from $360,000 for a cozy one-bedroom bungalow to more than $1 million for a brand-new farm-ranch style house with five bedrooms. On average, though, residential real estate in Lake Grove costs between $500,000 to $700,000.

Fishing trips and festivals at Long Island parks
Lake Ronkonkoma may no longer be a summer resort, but it’s still a popular destination for locals. Lake Ronkonkoma County Park has a beach and plenty of space for fishing. Each summer, the Village of Lake Grove has a two-day Summer Festival at the gazebo in Memorial Park featuring live music, carnival games and food trucks.
