Port Jefferson Station has beach access and community spirit

Port Jefferson Station is an unincorporated hamlet south of the tourist-filled Port Jefferson village. Locals live 10 minutes away from Long Island's north shore beaches and minutes from the Long Island Rail Road, which gives commuters an easier path to central New York than driving over an hour west. “This is a very community-oriented place. When there’s someone in need, the community comes together to support them. And we have lots of areas with sidewalks and streetlights that you can’t get in other places,” says Lisa Molinelli, an experienced Realtor with Coach Realtors who's also a member of the Port Jefferson Station-Terryville Chamber of Commerce. Quiet streets, a strong sense of community and easy beach access make this town one to remember. “It’s a nice and peaceful place to live. There are a ton of great restaurants and lots of nature,” says Jennifer Nyx, a local and licensed real estate agent with Keller Williams Points North.

Dining at family-owned spots like Carnival

There are fast food chains along Nesconset-Port Jefferson Highway, but locals often get a table at Carnival to try their famous Italian cuisine. In addition to Carnival, Nyx also recommends Colosseo Pizza. Margaritas Cafe, a community staple according to Molinelli, recently underwent renovations to refresh their building and authentic Mexican dishes. Zorba the Greek is a family-owned spot that has been serving up lunch and dinner options since 1980. “Toast and Coffee moved from Port Jefferson to Port Jefferson Station, and they’ve been packed since they opened,” Nyx says. Port Plaza has Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace, where locals pick up groceries. Nesconset Shopping Center is the busiest destination since it holds HomeGoods, Dollar Tree and Carnival. Those who need more shopping options can take a 6-mile drive to visit the Smith Haven Mall or see what locally owned stores are open in downtown Port Jefferson.

People flock to see the Polar Express

The Port Jefferson Station-Terryville Chamber of Commerce operates out of a restored 1900s passenger train car and hosts an annual summer concert series in the park right next door. “We’re one of the only communities that puts on a Polar Express. People come from all over to see it, and we also do an Easter Express,” Molinelli says.

Long-term residents choose ranch homes

Most homes lining the wide streets are ranches ranging from $350,000 to $700,000. Residents often get large yards, long paved driveways and tall oak trees that shade their homes. Condos with two bedrooms and attached garages in the 55-and-older communities often sell for $600,000 to $750,000. Homes also have breathing room between their neighbors, so they don’t feel like they live on top of each other. “I’ve seen a lot of people buy their parents' homes and stay. New growth has been some senior communities or spot building, where a developer buys an acre of land and breaks it up into parcels. There’s also a plan to revamp one of our shopping centers into multi-family housing with stores on the first floor,” Molinelli says.

Day trips at Cedar Beach or West Meadow Beach

When residents need a place to let their kids or pets run around, they take them to Washington Avenue Park, a small area with playground equipment and a baseball diamond that doubles as an open grassy area. Bikers, walkers and runners test themselves on the Setauket-Port Jefferson Greenway. This paved path runs less than 4 miles from the parking lot in Port Jefferson Station to Setauket. For more relaxed fun, residents drive 10 minutes to Cedar Beach or West Meadow Beach. Both feature large parking lots, playground equipment and miles of sand and rock shores that look out over the Long Island Sound. The Comsewogue Public Library also offers monthly programs and shelves stocked with good reads for those who prefer to have fun indoors.
