you guys are, well, right & wrong. i live in bellport. the village is pristine & the town of bellport is lovely as well. it is NORTH bellport that is not such a great area. the schools--as some have mentioned--are a mixed bag. there's lots of school spirit but, unfortunately (as in so many public schools across the nation) metal detectors have recently had to be installed in the high school. but this is a preventative measure, not a reactionary one. one particular high note are the libraries, which are fantastic!
