Bohemia/Islip Area? (Central Islip, Holbrook, Ronkonkoma: high school, taxes, place to live)

[MissesFixIt]

Once again.... what do you guys think of this area??

Someone just asked about Bohemia recently -- lots of great replies. I give it a thumbs up!

Here are two threads on Bohemia:

For those who may not be familiar with Bohemia:

Bohemia is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the east-central part of the Town of Islip, in the southwest part of Suffolk County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Bohemia in the Town of Islip is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Ronkonkoma; on the east by the Hamlet of Holbrook; on the south by the Hamlet of Sayville and the Hamlet of Oakdale; and, on the west by the Hamlet of North Great River and the Hamlet of Central Islip.





The Hamlet of Bohemia has a different border than does the "Bohemia, NY 11716" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Bohemia, NY 11716" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Bohemia and a place can have other than a "Bohemia, NY 11716" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Bohemia): places that have a "Bohemia, NY 11716" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Bohemia are in the Hamlet of Holbrook and the Hamlet of Sayville; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Bohemia with an "Islip Terrace, NY 11752" mailing address.

bohemia and islip are both very nice areas. south of montauk hwy is the best part of islip. islip does border bay shore, brentwood, and islip terrace though

[suzook]

islip terrace is fine

[rocafeller05]

Agreed! The higher taxes keep the borders sturdy.

Having lived in Islip Terrace, it really depends on where you are. I would opt for Bohemia over Islip Terrace.

[thebobs]

Avoid Central Islip.

[MissesFixIt]

No just Islip area. Like the SD Islip & the area Bohemia.

IT is still the East Islip SD. which is highly rated but has a very high school tax. For the most part Islip terrace is a very nice place to live "IF" you stay close to sunrise and or Conetquot ave . All the way up to the fork at lowel then a bit further staying on the Eastern side.
Good luck
