Halesite
Suburban Neighborhood in Long Island, New York
Suffolk County 11743
Homes usually start at around $650,000
Halesite’s wide residential streets lack sidewalks, but the split-levels, Cape Cods, ranch-style homes and new traditionals lining these streets often have yards with a little breathing room. A few smaller lots are around a tenth of an acre, but many measure in at a third of an acre or more. Fixer-uppers start at as low as $500,000, but most houses start closer to $650,000. An updated waterfront home or the occasional newly built house can sometimes climb as high as $2.3 million.Boating on the bay, fishing spots and athletic fields
Boating, fishing and swimming are all big parts of life in Halesite. Locals’ love of boating is clear even at a glance — there are multiple marinas and yacht clubs in the little community, plus a fishing charter. Halesite Park is small, but it offers gorgeous views of Huntington Bay and a little pier where locals fish. Parking can be tricky at the park, though, as the businesses on either side tend to use the lot. Mill Dam Park is a far bigger green space, separated from the bay only by Mill Dam Road. With athletic fields where local teams play baseball, soccer and lacrosse, the park also has a lake for fishing. Heckscher Park is just outside the neighborhood, offering shaded walking paths, tennis courts and a pond alongside The Heckscher Museum of Art. The museum is home to over 2,500 pieces of art. As part of the Town of Huntington, locals can also pay a fee to gain access to any of the town’s nine beaches. For golfers, Huntington Crescent Club and Huntington Country Club are both less than 3 miles from Halesite.Extracurriculars at Huntington High, nearby private option
Niche gives the Huntington Union Free School District an A-minus. Students can attend Southdown Primary School, which has a B-minus, from kindergarten through third grade and Woodhull Intermediate School, which has a B, from fourth through sixth grade. J. Taylor Finley Middle School gets a B-plus, and Huntington High School gets an A-minus and offers over 40 student activities, from clubs and sports to an internship program for juniors and seniors. “People love this school district,” Bianco says. “But there’s also an excellent Catholic school a few miles away.” Saint Anthony’s High School is just under 7 miles away in South Huntington. Niche gives the school an A-plus and ranks it among the top 10 Catholic high schools in the state.Waterfront Festival in Mill Dam Park, events in nearby Huntington
Mill Dam Park hosts most of Halesite’s yearly events, including summer concerts and the Waterfront Festival. A celebration of local boating, this festival involves live music, food trucks and local vendors, with a special emphasis put on an overall nautical theme. Heckscher Park also hosts a wide range of events, including the Long Island Fall Festival and a Community Arts Festival where local artists sell their art and kids paint on easels set up in the grass. The Village of Huntington offers bigger events — many of which draw thousands — less than 2 miles away.Route 25A, nearby LIRR station
New York Avenue is Halesite’s biggest street; no major highways run through the neighborhood, but it takes just a few minutes to hop onto State Route 25A. Other highways, though, are more of a trek. Many people rely on the Long Island Rail Road to get to work. Huntington Station is about 3 miles away, bringing commuters to Manhattan’s Penn Station in about an hour and 10 minutes. Huntington Hospital is less than a mile away, and it’s about 35 miles to John F. Kennedy International Airport.Local eateries and shops along New York Avenue
Overlooking Huntington Harbor, New York Avenue is Halesite’s main street. According to Robert Bianco, the office manager at Island Advantage Realty, locals love spending the evening strolling up and down New York Avenue, enjoying its shops and restaurants. All of Halesite’s restaurants are along this street, including T.K.’s Galley for breakfast, DJ’s Clam Shack, which is known for its fresh lobster rolls, and Posto Pazzo for a slightly more upscale Italian meal. And then there’s Prime: An American Kitchen & Bar. Located right on the bay, the fine dining restaurant has a reputation that travels far past the borders of Long Island. It’s been written about in The New York Times, Newsday, The Knot, which is a wedding planning website known for discussing America’s best venues, and more. The restaurant was designed to look like a classic boathouse on Boston’s Charles River. The little downtown has bait and tackle shops, salons and spas, a Pilates studio and more. Essentials like veterinary clinic, pharmacy and King Kullen are also located along New York Avenue.Hurricane season by the water
Just like the rest of Long Island, hurricane season can impact Halesite. During this season of storms, there’s a moderate risk of flooding and a severe risk of high winds.
