My husband and i will be house hunting next year and i am just trying to get a feel for cerain areas. I know the best ones on the north shore (wading river, shoreham, rocky point, miller place, mt. sinai) we are going to be looking in those towns mostly (just have to watch the taxes) But i was wondering how the Canaan Lake area in patchogue is. It isn't far from Holbrook. When i look at some of the houses that are for sale on the internet the look really nice.

Canaan Lake is in North Patchogue.
For those who may not be familiar with North Patchogue:
North Patchogue is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the southwest part of the Town of Brookhaven, in the south-center part of Suffolk County, along the Brookhaven/Islip town line.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of North Patchogue in the Town of Brookhaven is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Holtsville; on the east by the Hamlet of East Patchogue; on the south by the Village of Patchogue and the Hamlet of Blue Point; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Holbrook in the Town of Islip (the Brookhaven/Islip town line).
North Patchogue is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the hamlet name in their mailing address: places in the Hamlet of North Patchogue have a "Patchogue, NY 11772", "Holbrook, NY 11741" and "Holtsville, NY 11742" mailing address.

In my opinion I truly feel that Patchogue is going to turn in to a hot spot in a couple years. Great downtown, on the shore & they are really cleaning it up. I guess time will tell.
Canaan lake is ok. Its quite like Selden or any of the mid island towns.
I would look in Patchogue Village if I were you. Yes, you have village taxes, but the summers by the water is great. The services are also good.

Patchogue is a village (incorporated in 1893) in the southwest part of the Town of Brookhaven, in the south-center part of Suffolk County.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Village of Patchogue in the Town of Brookhaven is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of North Patchogue; on the east by the Hamlet of East Patchogue; on the south by the Great South Bay; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Blue Point.
The Village of Patchogue has a different border than does the "Patchogue, NY 11772" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Patchogue, NY 11772" mailing address and not be in the Village of Patchogue and a place can have other than a "Patchogue, NY 11772" mailing address and be in the Village of Patchogue): places with a "Patchogue, NY 11772" mailing address that are not in the Village of Patchogue are in the Hamlet of Blue Point, the Hamlet of North Patchogue, the Hamlet of East Patchogue, the Hamlet of North Bellport and the Village of Bellport; and, at the same time, there are places in the Village of Patchogue with a "Blue Point, NY 11715" mailing address.

I agree entirely. I hope it can turn a final corner and truly come back and/or reach its full potential.
