Hows the area around ONTARIO STREET in Terryville? The house prices are low and I heard some bad things about the area.

The houses are hit and miss but in my own opinion, I would not buy there especially if you have or are going to have children. Avoid the lake streets.

it used to be a nice area about 20-25 years ago. Now not so much. Drugs, sex offenders and over loaded houses broken into several apartments. We lived there and had to leave. It got too much

I made this map showing the safety of each of the areas of PJS TERRYVILLE and PJ. Green means its pretty safe, yellow means a little worse, orange means getting kind of bad, and red means worry for your safety.

Sorry but you are really reaching. I just saw your map and it is invalid. The area called parkridge circle which is off north bicycle path which borders north coram is very nice and very safe. An orange outline is flat out wrong. I don't mean to offend but I know pjs and terryville backwards and forwards as well as all of the border towns. You are completely wrong. If the op wants to know about the whole town, i'd be glad to properly analyze it. Unfortunately you are guessing. The lake streets are bad. The cigarette streets are yellow and some orange. The woodhull area is orange-yellow. The area behind heatherwood golf course is green. The areas by block blvd are orange. All the streets off bicycle path are yellow at worst but get worse as you get closer to jayne blvd.

I moved out of Dillon Ave in Terryville back in 1974 when I graduated from Comsewogue H.S.. The area was slowly sinking then. In the years I've been back the whole area of the lake streets off Jayne Blvd (ontario st ect) have slipped into a lower middle class mode, with the atending problems that plague most neighborhoods) All, and I mean all the people I knew left the area by 1988. It really is a shame I grew up in that neighborhood and played on those streets. I remember when the Clinton ave school was being built in 1968 and when the terryville elementary school was brand new in 1961. I remember the people of the neighborhood working all Saturday morning on their lawns. I guess you never really can go home again. Be smart and stay away from the area. Cadillac811

Its a 75% hispanic area with a lot of illegal apartments= a BARRIO. They did however clean it up by fining slumlords and picking up garbage. But its still the same neighborhood.

What point were you trying to make with the video? A couple of guys were singing a Spanish song while driving (and we don't even know if the video was taken in PJS). And the swerving in the camera is from the guy moving it around, not from drunk driving or anything.

Theres nothing wrong with the people its just showing the OP what kind of area it is and the people in it. Its just the only video I can find for it. Thats Clinton Ave in the video also, part of the Lake Streets.
