The homes are more established,” says Lesley Longmcleod, an associate broker at Signature Premier Properties who has over eight years of experience. “You can’t say there’s no shopping in town because downtown Port Jefferson is right there.”
Modern newer construction homes can be found in clusters all around Terryville.

Easy commutes with Port Jefferson station nearby
Less than 3 miles away, Port Jefferson station gives commuters a direct path to central New York along the Long Island Rail Road. "That's a huge perk," says Todd Yovino, broker and owner of Island Advantage Realty, "and can take a significant amount of time off your daily commute." The Nesconset-Port Jefferson Highway takes medical staff 3 miles to Mather Hospital and 6 miles to Stony Brook University Hospital. Homeowners who live close to Terryville Road can hop on a Suffolk Country Transit Bus, while most rely on their cars to get around town.

New Colonial Revivals and established ranch-style homes
Brand-new Colonial Revivals in Terryville often sell for $750,000 to almost $1 million. Most Colonial Revivals and split-level homes with four bedrooms, large yards and attached garages were built in the 1970s or 2000s. They range from $500,000 to $985,000. While most homeowners park on their paved driveways or in their garages, drivers have an easy time moving around cars parked on the wide streets. “My clients moved there because they liked the size of the property and the size of the home. They also liked the library system and schools there,” Longmcleod says. “They moved in after Halloween and have met quite a few of their neighbors already.”
Colonial revival homes are rampant around the Terryville neighborhoods.
It is not uncommon to find several split level ranch homes near each other in Terryville.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
