Nesconset is a quiet hamlet with a tight-knit community
Nesconset is the epitome of small-town America. This community is one of six hamlets in the Smithtown township in Suffolk County, Long Island. Most residents own their homes and know their neighbors well.
Classic architectural styles and generous yards
Ranch and Colonial Revival style homes dominate the community's housing supply. Homes often have at least three bedrooms and spacious lots with mature trees.
Neighborhood schools are part of Smithtown Central District
Nesconset families are zoned for schools in the Smithtown Central School District. Tackan Elementary School and Great Hollow Middle School are within the neighborhood boundaries and are located 2 miles apart. Smithtown High School East is the nearest zoned secondary school. It is located 2 miles away in the adjacent St. James neighborhood.
Local outdoor amenities support active lifestyles and social events
Andreoli Park is a community space with a children's playground on Nesconset's eastern border. Just across the road is Gibb's Pond. It has a pier and deck that's great for fishing and observing the area's wildlife. The Smithtown Library Nesconset Building is a community pillar that provides programming and events for children, teens and adults. There are storytime safaris, art lessons and book discussion groups. Next door to the library is the Nesconset Gazebo, a place where the community gathers for live music concerts. There's also a playground, walking trails and a dog park. Local athletes can take advantage of The Sports Arena, a multisport complex on the neighborhood's north side. There are turf fields, a gym and a hockey rink. Its youth and adult sports leagues are a popular way for community members to socialize. And visitors can refuel and unwind at the snack bar and video arcade.
Commercial corridor offers dining, retail and auto sales
Shops and restaurants line Smithtown Boulevard, the community's commercial corridor. Pharmacies, cafes, thrift stores and florists are open for business along this thoroughfare. There's also a wide selection of restaurants along the boulevard, such as Asian-fusion, farm-to-table and fast-food joints. In the northeastern corner, a variety of major car dealerships provide local employment and boost the economy. Area dealers specialize in American, foreign, luxury and electric vehicles.
