We recently bought a house in Dix Hills, but I just realized after closing that we are very close to the Deer Park / Town of Babylon border. We are zoned for the HHH schools. Can anyone tell me about the area? It is located behind the 7-11. I thought we got a good price, but now I am not so sure.
Thanks. We will be moving to Emerson Street and Woodedge Place. The neighborhood seems ok, but I wasn't sure where the exact border is. Is that still considered Dix Hills? The realtor told us it was, but I have a sick feeling that it might not be.
If the home is in the Town of Huntington, it's in Dix Hills....if it's in the Town of Babylon it's in Deer Park, there's no crossover. I just looked up the intersection you listed quick on a map and it's definitely in Dix Hills, though....about 50 feet from the Town of Babylon border!
Emerson comes up on Google Maps as being in Deer Park, not Dix Hills. But that only means that it's in the Deer Park postal district. There are many sections of communities whose zipcode is Community A but are in the school district of Community B, and may even be in the fire district of Community C. It's the Township that a street is in that matters most (for resale advertising purposes) which is why the realtor could list it as Dix Hills even though it's only 50 feet from Deer Park!

The following map maybe of some help to you ...
For those who may not be familiar with Dix Hills:
Dix Hills is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the southeast part of the Town of Huntington, in the west part of Suffolk County, along the Huntington/Smithtown, Huntington/Islip and Huntington/Babylon town lines.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Dix Hills in the Town of Huntington is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Elwood and the Hamlet of Commack in the Town of Huntington; on the east by the Hamlet of Commack in the Town of Smithtown (the Huntington/Smithtown town line) and the Hamlet of Brentwood in the Town of Islip (the Huntington/Islip town line); on the south by the Hamlet of Deer Park and the Hamlet of Wheatley Heights in the Town of Babylon (the Huntington/Babylon town line); and, on the west by the Hamlet of Melville and the Hamlet of South Huntington in the Town of Huntington.
The Hamlet of Dix Hills has a different border than does the "Dix Hills, NY 11746" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Dix Hills, NY 11746" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Dix Hills and a place can have other than a "Dix Hills, NY 11746" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Dix Hills): places that have a "Dix Hills, NY 11746" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Dix Hills are in the Hamlet of Huntington Station, the Hamlet of Elwood, the Hamlet of Commack, the Hamlet of Deer Park and the Hamlet of Melville; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Dix Hills with a "Brentwood, NY 11717" mailing address..

I believe you mean either Edgewood or Woodlawn. Looking at the fact finder site, you are in Dix Hills. The zipcode is Deer Park, but it is Dix hills.
