Can someone please tell me about Commack, LI? I will be relocating to the area due to accepting a new job opportunity. If not Commack, what are some of the best, safe places to live in the surrounding area? The job is located in Commack, we will be moving from the Albany area...no kids..........and finally just not familiar with NYC or Long Island.........where do we start? Our price range is $1500.

Commack is nice, strong schools, taxes can be a bit high in parts. There are a number of threads on Commack if you search. The nearby towns are also all nice in my opinion. East Northport, Northport, Smithtown, Hauppauge, Kings Park. These areas have also been frequently discussed on other threads. Further detail would be needed regarding your price range, commute, etc, to expand on other areas to consider. Good luck to you in your new job!

Commack has come along way.

When I was a kid that was the town rich kids in Huntington made fun of.

Given the woeful state of RT 110 ...Whos laughing now.

Commack is a very nice town. Good schools, good shopping, easy access to parkways. You may also want to check out East Northport, Dix Hills, Smithtown, and Kings Park.

Sorry to repeat the question, I am a new member. How do you search for previously asked questions correctly?

If you are in the general LI forum section (meaning not reading a thread) you can click on the search button across the top and it will open a search box for all threads in the forum. If you open up the search form within your thread you can only search within that topic.

Also, although rentals might be harder to find, Nesconset could be an option. Deer Park to the south for rentals as well.

There are some rentals to be found in East Northport -usually duplexes or two-family houses. We paid $1450 for a 2BR last year.

Default For those who may not be familiar with Commack

For those who may not be familiar with Commack:

Commack is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) partly in the southeast part of the Town of Huntington and partly in the southwest part of the Town of Smithtown, in the northwest part of Suffolk County, along the Smithtown/Islip town line.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Commack in the Town of Huntington and the Town of Smithtown is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of East Northport in the Town of Huntington, and the Hamlet of Fort Salonga and the Hamlet of Kings Park in the Town of Smithtown; on the east by the Hamlet of Smithtown and the Hamlet of Hauppauge in the Town of Smithtown; on the south by the Hamlet of Brentwood in the Town of Islip (the Smithtown/Islip town line) and the Hamlet of Dix Hills in the Town of Huntington; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Dix Hills and the Hamlet of Elwood in the Town of Huntington.





The Hamlet of Commack has a different border than does the "Commack, NY 11725" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Commack, NY 11725" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Commack): places that have a "Commack, NY 11725" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Commack are in the Hamlet of Elwood in the Town of Huntington and in the Hamlet of Smithtown in the Town of Smithtown.

There are some decent rentals out there in your price range in the general area; usually, the cost of utilities is not included - that's probably the same as in Albany, right?
