Greenlawn?? (Huntington, Huntington Station, Dix Hills: houses, schools, live)

[jimlisa1020]

My husband and I are looking to move soon. We recently were looking at houses in Greenlawn but we know nothing about this area. Schools are important to us and we heard that Harborfields is pretty good but what is Greenlawn like as a community??

We lived in Greenlawn for 15 years. Greenlawn is a great town, one of the best kept secrets on Long Island IMO. There is a great sense of community, super people, and a cute little town. As as you mentioned, Harborfields schools are some of the absolute best in Suffolk County. Just be careful though, not ALL of Greenlawn is in Harborfields. Maybe 60-70% is.

For those who may not be familiar with Greenlawn:

Greenlawn is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the central part of the Town of Huntington, in the northwest part of Suffolk County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Greenlawn in the Town of Huntington is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Centerport; on the east by the Hamlet of East Northport and the Hamlet of Elwood; on the south by the Hamlet of Elwood, the Hamlet of Dix Hills, the Hamlet of South Huntington and the Hamlet of Huntington Station; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Huntington Station and the Hamlet of Huntington.





The Hamlet of Greenlawn has a different border than does the "Greenlawn, NY 11740" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Greenlawn, NY 11740" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Greenlawn and a place can have other than a "Greenlawn, NY 11740" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Greenlawn): places that have a "Greenlawn, NY 11740" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Greenlawn are in the Hamlet of Huntington and the Hamlet of Elwood; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Greenlawn with a "Huntington, NY 11743" mailing address.

Greenlawn is a very nice town. If you are looking there, you might also consider East Northport, the town next door.
