be aware that in the near future, all town of Huntington residents may be on the hook for the ongoing LIPA lawsuit against the town. Taxes could rise significantly throughout the township.

Fake news. It's an average $4000 one time hit for all township homes and thereafter a minimal hit.

If you are in the East Northport/Northport School district you are looking the $4000 one time hit as well as thousands of dollars per year thereafter.

a $4000 one time hit is not fake news. Not sure if the town would do the one time hit , or mitigate the pain by floating a bond and passing it on over many years.
East Northport/Northport gets about 65% of the $82 million LIPA tax bill for their school districts, the other 35% goes to the rest of the town on Huntington. All TOH homeowners could be impacted in the future (Northport/EN much more, as you stated) .

There is 75,xxx housing units plus all the commercial. Unless you live in the Northport SD the hit will be minimal. They cut tax payments in half to 41m the town looses 8-9m avg home is $100 a year increase. No chance they will be paying any of old taxes back. It's a scare tactic to get them to settle. I think they should just settle. Anyone living in NP\EN SD was aware that this day could come. It sucks for them, it's the highest tax property in the country.

Kind of depends what you want, HHH is probably slightly better than Commack, but you will definitely pay more for a home there. I ranked schools back in 2014 and all 3 were extremely close to each other. I personally live in Commack because I felt that you can get a much nicer home for the price than HHH and the school metrics are virtually the same.

Also, Us World and News rankings suck. They only take either AP or IB participation (whichever is the highest) and throw out the rest. So schools that offer both are punished in the rankings.

And wherever you got testing data between HHH East and West, it is wrong.

Here are the stats direct from the NYSED site:

HHH West has 82% with Advanced Regents degrees, Percentage of students scoring highest level 4 on Regents exams: 79% English, 39% Algebra 2, 56% Physics, 78% Global History

HHH East has 86% advanced regents, Regents: 80% English, 55% Algebra 2, 62% Physics, 84% Global history

East clearly has better test scores.

I’ve noticed a number of houses not selling near the Home Depot shopping center. Are there any issues that would make that area less desirable?

The Home Depot shopping center in Deer Park? That’s nowhere near HHH, that whole area near Tanger Mall II is heavily saturated with small and medium businesses and the traffic around that area is relentless, combined with the proximity of the LIRR train tracks makes it unbearable around rush hour.

HHH WEST definitely has the better boys sports programming in the education system.

HHH WEST definitely has more diversity due to proximity to other neighborhoods. HHH EAST has less diversity.
