'So much community service' in North Babylon
Just a few miles from Long Island’s South Shore, North Babylon has a similar story to many other nearby communities. Its population grew as soldiers returned from World War II, and today it remains popular because of its proximity to the coast and easy transportation into Manhattan for commuters. “It’s a very old and very distinct [community],” says Edmond Ryan, a licensed real estate broker and the owner of Ed Ryan Real Estate Group. “It’s a beautiful little village with a nearly 465-acre Belmont Lake State Park, historic Belmont Lake Tunnel and Carlls Creek and Belmont Lake.”
Beyond North Babylon’s distinctive park, the area's most notable feature comes down to the people who call it home. “We have so much community service,” says Larry “Love” Gardner, an associate broker at Exit Realty All Pro who has lived in the community most of his life and has sold homes here for 20 years. “We have a food pantry, we have the Lions Club, we have the Knights of Columbus, we have several different sources of food.” Gardner recalls a time when a resident’s house burned down, and the community came together to raise money for them to rebuild. “They call us the bulldogs, because bulldogs are very tenacious animals, and what they do is bite on your ankle and never let go. We’re a very resilient, persistent community,” Gardner says. “We just keep going… I love being proud of where I live.”
A common lifestyle at Belmont Lake State Park in North Babylon is fresh water fishing.

Modest homes from around $500,000
“North Babylon is primarily a quiet residential [area],” Ryan says. “So, most of the housing stock consists of modest, single-family homes.” Most of the homes lining these quiet streets are Cape Cods, ranch-style homes and split-levels. Modest fixer-uppers occasionally dip as low as $500,000, and while the majority of homes max out at around $750,000, a few larger, updated homes climb as high as $850,000.

Athletics at North Babylon High
The North Babylon Union Free School District earns a B from Niche. Children begin their educations at one of five elementary schools like Woods Road Elementary School, which has a B-minus, before moving on to Robert Moses Middle School, which has a B. North Babylon High School has a B-plus and has an impressive track record when it comes to athletics. In 2024, seven student-athletes signed contracts to play for colleges, mostly for soccer teams. The school has also seen graduates go on to play basketball in the NCAA, one to win an NBA championship, one to play for the WNBA and three to compete in the Olympics.

A major hub for highways, nearby Babylon LIRR
North Babylon is home to two cloverleaf interchanges of several major highways, including the Southern State Parkway, Deer Park Avenue, the Babylon Northport Expressway and Sunrise Highway. Homes close to these major roads can experience more traffic noise, but the rest of the community is pretty quiet year-round, and it makes hopping on the highway to get nearly anywhere on Long Island easy. For those who prefer to commute on the Long Island Rail Road, Babylon Station is about 4 miles away. From there, the train takes commuters to Manhattan’s Penn Station in about an hour and 15 minutes, sometimes less. Good Samaritan University Hospital Center for Pediatric Specialty Care is located in North Babylon, while the main Good Samaritan University Hospital is about 5 miles away. Long Island MacArthur Airport is 15 miles away.
Hiking, fishing and kayaking at Belmont Lake State Park
At 463 acres, Belmont Lake State Park is a focal point for life in North Babylon. People head here to hike, run or walk their dogs along its wooded paths and kayak or fish in its well-stocked lake. The park also has playgrounds, athletic fields, barbeque spots and a dog run. Nearby, Phelps Lane Park is also popular for its playground and athletic spaces, including baseball fields, basketball and tennis courts and a large field used for football and soccer. During the summer, the park also has an outdoor pool. Gardner says that major beaches and parks are also about a 10-minute drive away, including Captree State Park and Robert Moses Beach. Both parks are less than 10 miles away. “Some people go to our beach for a destination, and we can be here in 10 minutes,” Gardner says. “That in and of itself is such a draw.”

Local restaurants and shopping along Deer Park Avenue
Most of North Babylon’s stores and restaurants are stretched along state Route 231, otherwise known as Deer Park Avenue. Many residents start their days at Wally’s Bagels, especially on weekends. “On any given Saturday or Sunday, you can go in there and you’ll have three lines of people waiting almost like we’re in a cheese wheel, like we’re mice. It’s crazy,” Gardner says. There are a few pizza spots in North Babylon as well, including the long-standing Mangia Pizza & Italian Restaurant. Gardner says he’s been eating there for 35 years, and the sauce — which he says is a family recipe from Italy — is fantastic. Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet is also a popular dinner spot.
There are also a few small businesses, including The Nameless Ink Tattoo and Art Studio, and retailers like PetSmart and GameStop. For groceries, there’s an Aldi and Italian-style grocery store Uncle Guiseppe’s Marketplace. “They have ... a hot tray if you want to get eggplant rotini or there’s chicken parmesan or meatball spaghetti,” Gardner says. “So at 7:00, the real locals know that that whole thing goes half-price. The hoverers show up at 6:30, and they take their stuff and then they walk around the store for a half hour so they can get half-price on their food.” Of course, Gardner adds, snagging the food can come after a bit of a stare-down with other hoverers hoping to snag the same meal. For more shopping, dining and entertainment at destinations like The Argyle Theatre, Babylon’s buzzy, walkable downtown is only about 4 miles away.

Local events and charitable drives
North Babylon is quiet most of the year, but the local Lions Club hosts several big events, from an annual spring fair that features local vendors and bouncy rides to the Turkaree, where local groups donate food baskets to families in need around Thanksgiving. There’s also an annual holiday tree lighting ceremony at Belmont Lake State Park, which is followed by a fireworks show.

Hurricane season on Long Island
All of Long Island can be impacted by hurricane season, and North Babylon is no different. Thanks to its location a little inland, there’s only a minor risk of flooding in the community, but there’s still a major risk of high winds.
