From boatbuilding village to one of America's best places to live
In 2019, the American Planning Association named Patchogue one of America's best communities. A few years on, and it’s still an impressive achievement for the small Brookhaven village. For about four decades, starting around the 1950s, the coastal community suffered one indignity after another when the wooden boatbuilding and weekend vacation industries collapsed. According to the APA, Patchogue hit a home run when it transformed from a “sleepy village” to a “vibrant community,” attracting scores of boutiques, bars, eateries and entertainment venues.

Competitively priced homes
Since the early 1800s, Patchogue was a popular village for blue-collar workers. There are still plenty of early to mid-century homes, like wood-framed ranch-style houses and large colonial-inspired homes. But these days, people are moving to the coastal community for new builds, especially those within walking distance of the revitalized downtown area on Main Street or with views of the canals, West Lake, Patchogue Bay or Great Patchogue Lake. For a south shore town, Patchogue houses are competitively priced, says Edmond Ryan, a licensed real estate broker and owner of Ed Ryan Real Estate Group in West Islip. New condos, townhouses and single-family homes fetch anywhere from $300,000 to $850,000.

Comedy and more at the Patchogue Theatre
If you’re feeling sentimental for pre-revitalization days, there are still a few remnants from when Patchogue was an ordinary working-class community. The historic Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, located in the middle of town on Main Street, originally opened in 1923. A century later, the 1,100-seat theater hosts all sorts of events, from film and documentary screenings to Grammy-winning musicians, pop singers, comedians and lecturers.
