Central Long Island suburb with low taxes
Located in central Long Island, Hauppauge is a residential hamlet with a tight-knit community atmosphere. “It reaps the benefits of being in both Smithtown and Islip townships,” says Christine Daddio, an agent with Howard Hanna Coach Realtors and a resident of neighboring Smithtown. Verdant nature preserves, small class-sized schools, reliable transportation links and proximity to thriving downtowns are major draws. Residents also have the advantage of paying property taxes that are 20% to 30% lower than surrounding areas because Hauppauge Business Park, one of the largest complexes of its kind on the East Coast, foots most of the bill.
Hauppauges lush landscape has sidewalks throughout the neighborhood.
Hauppauge neighborhoods have excellent curb appeal.

Small top-ranked schools in the Hauppauge District
Students get their education in the Hauppauge School District, which tends to have smaller schools and class sizes. Among three elementary schools, Bretton Woods has an overall A-score from Niche and a favorable 10 to 1 student-teacher ratio. Hauppauge Middle also has an A-score, while Hauppauge High maintains an overall A-minus ratio. “The district only has 1,100 students,” Daddio says. “There’s real school spirit and student-led community-oriented initiatives.” The Hauppauge Youth Organization supports local football, soccer, baseball and LAX game teams.
Happague Middle School sits right next to Happague High School in a busy neighborhood.

I think that there is no real night life except for Jake's 58 Casino which is both a positive and a negative. More places need to be opened, and there is a lack of diversity.

Compared to other places the neighborhood is very safe and quiet. The schools are within close proximity of where the students live. Most people are generally friendly people. Yes I would choose to live there again if I could. There's never any traffic to deal with. The neighborhood is perfect for riding a bike or walking a dog.
