Students, faculty and history buffs choose Stony Brook
History, education and outdoor destinations are the main ingredients that make Stony Brook a popular place on Long Island’s north shore to live and explore. The West Meadow Beach creates the town’s northern border, and Smithtown Bypass sits along the southern border. “Stony Brook is 10 to 15 minutes from the Smith Haven mall, and the university and hospital are there. It’s great for families, so people move in and stay long term,” says Yuanyuan “Julia” Zhang, a Realtor with Realty Connect USA who has over five years of experience helping people move within and into the area. When not working at Stony Brook University Hospital or learning at Stony Brook University, New York’s largest public university, residents can visit one of the local museums or public parks. The Stony Brook Village Center is one of the United States' first shopping centers and continues to attract patrons with its local restaurants and boutiques. Whether residents move here for work, learning or fun, there’s always something new to discover.

Crazy Beans and Mirabelle have lunch covered
Students who need a pick-me-up before class can grab breakfast and a drink at Crazy Beans or Druthers Coffee. Lake Grove Diner has kept hungry residents coming back for more with its menu stuffed with American, Italian, and Mexican dishes. Yellow gingham tablecloths welcome guests at Sweet Mama’s Restaurant as they sit down to order breakfast or lunch. Locals celebrate anniversaries and birthdays at the Country House, a historic colonial home turned into a high-end dinner spot. Mirabelle at Three Village Inn serves French dishes for brunch, lunch and dinner to those who make reservations.
The Stony Brook Village Center blends historic architecture designs inspired by Colonial Williamsburg with modern small businesses. It also hosts events throughout the year, like the annual Halloween and holiday festivals. Patrons visit the center to shop at boutiques like Ben’s Garden for home decor and stationery. For groceries, shoppers can visit the Stop & Shop, Whole Foods Market or Trader Joe’s along Smithtown Bypass. The Smith Haven Mall is a go-to spot for walking around, shopping and dining.

Exploring museums and Avalon Nature Preserve
Residents who want to glance into the past drive down Main Street to visit the Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages, The Stony Brook Grist Mill Museum or the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame. For an outdoor adventure, locals spend the day lounging on the sandy shore of West Meadow Beach. Parents can let their kids hang out on the playground or splash around in the Smithtown Bay waters. “Avalon Nature Preserve is a popular site and can get very busy. People go for hiking and kayaking. It’s really nice,” Zhang says. The T. Bayles Minuse Mill Pond Park is slightly north of Avalon and in 2024, the pond flooded after torrential rain and damaged Harbor Road. Thankfully, the Stony Brook Grist Mill museum was not damaged. The park will be closed until further notice.

Older Colonial Revivals that match Stony Brooks' historic flare
Students at Stony Brook University have access to on-campus housing and close-by apartments, but faculty and everyday residents can find three-bedroom Cape Cods and ranch-style homes with large yards for $500,000 to $750,000. Larger and recently renovated Colonial Revivals often range from $750,000 to over $1 million. Those 55 or older might settle into a condo within a gated community like Strathmore or The Knolls for $350,000 to $500,000. Some who live close to Weast Meadow Creek get sparkling water views, while residents closer to the university have quick access to the Stony Brook train station and Nicholls Road. Most residential streets throughout Stony Brook don’t feature sidewalks, which gives homeowners even more yard space. The CAP Index gives Stony Brook a crime score of 1 out of 10, with 10 being the highest. The national average is 4.

Patriots athletes take first at Ward Melville Senior High
When it’s time for school, most parents send their kids to the A-rated William Sidney Mount School. Students move on to Robert Cushman Murphy Junior High School, also earning an A from Niche, before entering their final years of school at Ward Melville Senior High, which earns an A-plus. From Regional Science Bowls to cheer competitions, the Melville Patriots athletic teams and academic clubs often take first place. Those who live in the northern half of town, closer to the beach, might attend Minnesauke Elementary or Setauket Elementary, both of which earn A ratings. Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School gets an A-plus and is the next step for students who later attend Ward Melville Senior High.

Commuting from Stony Brook station to central New York
The Stony Brook Station feeds onto the Long Island Rail Road’s Port Jefferson line. Trains come and go occasionally, so residents who miss their chance to commute into central New York take a short trip south to Ronkonkoma Station, also known as one of the busiest train depots for its hourly train schedule. Suffolk County Transit buses have stops around Stony Brook University, and those who live close to Nicholls Road and the Smithtown Bypass have an easier time catching the bus, but others rely on their cars.
Smithtown Bypass offers plenty of shopping and dining options in Stony Brook.
The train station is conveniently located near SUNY Stony Brook campus, shops and restaurants.
