Miller place is a nice place to live, but if you are commuting to the city it is a long way, and the taxes are extremely high. Since you are looking at westchester too I believe you may be looking to commute. The train from Port Jefferson is about 5-10 mins away via car, and runs not that frequently and takes 2 hours to reach Penn Station. The train from Ronkonkoma will be about 30 minutes away via car and takes 1:10 - 1:30 hours depending if it is express or not. So you are looking at a 2 hour each way commute. I live in Port Jefferson nearby and like it, but I would not live here if I were commuting to the city.
Please ignore Bruce..he is at loggerheads with Crooks and doesn't approve of Rocky Point. As an indifferent observer...I live in Axe Body Spray Country...I can say, with no hesitation, that MP and RP are fine areas and I wouldn't hesitate to move there. Of course, I still prefer the Axe Body Spray Zone of Long Island....after all, we do have All American Burger.
Funny b/c I am also looking in that area ! I have a friend who lives there, she loves it ! but her taxes are 15k !!! The down falls I feel are : 1/2 day kindergarten and you do not have a choice on am or pm, no UPK, no special services (speech, ot, pt) unless you fight tooth & nail for them and still there is no guarantee and the taxes are so high !!!! I am also considering shoreham/wading river but the taxes and the schools really need alot of updating and I do not think they have the money for it. Rocky point is looking real promising to me...they have full day kindergarten, UPK, from what i hear they have tons of programs to offer. Mt Sinai is also nice. Can you see that I am totally undecided LOL but leaning towards RP. The only down fall (no pun intended) is it's very hilly in areas and I have 4 young children and I really want a piece of property we can utilize. I will be following this thread to get more info ! good luck and we just may be neighbors one day

We love Rocky Point but Miller Place is awesome too.
and here I am with a day off and ready to head out to Rocky Point this evening..I could be a nice guy and deliver some AAB to your house but I doubt they would make it that far before I would eat them.
There is always JR steak for you....of course you will have to deal with the Nascar/Walmart crowd to get seating there.

That's why you have to start drinking earlier!
