The "Three Village" area (it's really 2 villages and 2 hamlets) includes the Village of Old Field, the Village of Poquott, the Hamlet of Setauket-East Setauket and the Hamlet of Stony Brook.

Stay away from "diverse" areas. Stay away from areas that have too many fast food places on their main strip. Stay away from working class areas Ronkonkoma, Centereach, Lindenhurst, West Babylon, Islip Terrace. If you see large groups of day laborers run as fast as you can Farmingville, Patchogue, Riverhead. That's my 2 cents.

You can't go wrong anywhere in the Town of Smithtown. Can't think of one problem area for that town.

Yeah, except for a little thing called a heroin epidemic and maybe the most OD's on the Island.....wonderful little place.

Smithtown is also good if you like to get hit by cars. It seems every other day someone is hit by a car crossing the street in Smithtown.

Well, when you have idiots driving versus idiots walking, an idiot's gonna get hurt somehow.

Why don't you try walking across Jericho Turnpike? ...yeah, thought so.

Uh, you guys know something you're not telling me. Spread the knowledge on the Town of Smithtown.

I never liked smithtown personally. I have no appeal to the area, 99% of the properties, or the taxes.
