Residential hamlet close to everything
A compact neighborhood just north of East Islip, Islip Terrace was first developed in the early 1900s as an area for recent German immigrants escaping the cramped conditions of New York City, hence its original name Germantown, which was changed during World War I. The area was relabeled for its flat terrace-like landscape. “You typically get bigger properties than in coastal East Islip where homes fetch a premium,” says Joan Brandmeier, a salesperson with Keller Williams Realty and longtime local. A residential area, Islip Terrace has proximity to large, historic green spaces, thriving downtowns in nearby hamlets and commuter rail stations. Its schools are some of the best in central Long Island.

Competitively priced midsize suburban homes
“Buyers can find a four-bedroom, two-bath house on a half-acre for well under $1 million, which is the norm for comparable homes south of Montauk Highway and that are closer to the waterfront,” says Brandmeier. While postwar bungalows start at $530,000, classic Long Island Hi-Ranches range from $600,000 to $ 750,000, depending on size and condition. Center-hall colonial revivals built after 2020 go on the market at $850,000.

Minor league team Long Island Ducks plays at the Fairfield Properties Ballpark in Central Islip, just north of the neighborhood. “The stadium has events all through the summer,” says Brandmeier. “We get front row seats to firework displays from our front yard.” Bay and ocean beaches including Robert Moses State Park aren’t too far.
