For those who may not be familiar with Shirley:

Shirley is a hamlet (an unincorporated community) in the southeast part of the Town of Brookhaven, in the south-central part of Suffolk County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Shirley in the Town of Brookhaven is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Yaphank and the Hamlet of Manorville; on the east by the Hamlet of Manorville, the Hamlet of Mastic and the Hamlet of Mastic Beach; on the south by Bellport Bay; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Brookhaven and the Hamlet of Yaphank.





The Hamlet of Shirley has a different border than does the "Shirley, NY 11967" ZIP code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Shirley, NY 11967" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Shirley and a place can have other than a "Shirley, NY 11967" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Shirley): places that have a "Shirley, NY 11967" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Shirley are in the Hamlet of Mastic and the Hamlet of Mastic Beach; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Shirley with a "Mastic, NY 11950" mailing address.

I have read posts that trash mastic/ mastic beach- however some of the homes there look beautiful and are affordable. What about Patchogue or Bellport? Any info at all would help- especially if you live in the area. I am going to mastic and Bellport this weekend to check it out. HELP!!!

Mastic/Mastic Beach/Shirley, schools are not good. Area not so great. although yes, there are some nice homes.
Bellport schools are better but not great. Patchogue better. If you can look around the Sayville area. Or Oakdale-Connetquot school district. If your concerned for schools.
Otherwise if you can afford it preferably look in Bayport schools are very good great area. affordable homes especially now. Bluepoint, Sayville, Oakdale, Holtsville. You can get a nice home in the low 300's and be in a nicer area.
