Long Island suburb with modestly priced homes
Located within a stretch of commuter-friendly Long Island suburbs, Central Islip is a mostly residential hamlet with well-maintained outdoor sports facilities, a large shopping center and modestly priced homes. There’s good value here for first-time homebuyers or people just moving to the area. “It’s called ‘central’ because it’s close to everything,” says Joan Brandmeier, a salesperson with Keller Williams Realty and longtime resident of next-door Islip Terrace. “The neighborhood runs between Southern State Parkway and the Long Island Expressway, has its own Long Island Rail Road Station, and is right next to Connetquot River State Park Preserve.”
The nearby Historical Nicoll Grist Mill was recently refurbished to its original appearance.
The Southern State Parkway near Central Islip is one of three main east to west travel arteries.
