Saint James sits between state universities and North Shore beaches
It's easy to forget that Saint James is situated on Long Island's North Shore when embedded among this suburban village's tree-lined subdivisions and well-landscaped midcentury classic homes. "The village of St. James has an old-fashioned suburban layout with one main street, serving as the classical downtown," says Lynn Sabatelle, a Long Island local and associate real estate broker with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. The community is beside Stony Brook University to the east and connected to Long Island beaches and parks in the northern neighborhoods of Head of the Harbor and Nissequogue.
