Where to live: single female (Islip, Babylon: apartment, for rent, condos)

[cl93100]

Hi

I am relocating to Long Island (work is near Great River). I want to be <25 minutes and am looking for a nice town with a a good Main Street, boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and not too far from a good supermarket, target etching for weekend runs . Will be looking for a nice apartment or house for rent.

Am a single female in her midn30s, so safety is important.

Any recommendations on towns I should be looking at that might be good fits?

Thank you!!!!!!

A lot of revitalization going on in Patchogue and close to Great River.

Sayville

Basically everything in that area is just fine.
Great River, Islip, E & W Islip, Sayville, Oakdale, Bohemia, Bayport, all good. All easy commute.

Sayville is probably safer but Patchogue has a lot of new housing (apts and condos) and more to do (theater, restaurants)

Second this. Sayville is a great town. A lot to offer...

I'd recommend Bayshore or Patchogue over Sayville.

Sayville has more day life (shops and boutiques), where Bayshore and Patchogue has more night life (bars and restaurants).

I might even argue that Patchogue is more walk-able. Where's the closest apartment to Main St in Sayville, Brookwood (0.8mi)? Patchogue has New Village which is ON main st. (0.0mi)

I recommend you do your due diligence and check out all areas with stops on the LIRR Babylon/Montauk Rail Line near Great River > Babylon, Bayshore, Islip... Patchogue.

FWIW I live in Patchogue Village so I am biased. Lots of people our age here.
