City - Melville

Melville sits at the heart of Long Island's Route 110 corridor in Suffolk County, where a dense stretch of corporate headquarters meets quieter residential streets just 35 miles east of Midtown Manhattan. The hamlet is home to Newsday, one of the country's largest suburban newspapers, giving this modest community an outsized place in American media history. Positioned within the Town of Huntington, Melville draws on nearby West Hills County Park for wooded trails leading to Jayne's Hill, the highest point on Long Island, and the walkable shops and live music scene of Huntington Village are only minutes away.

The rental market here leans toward spacious apartment communities, luxury townhomes, and generously sized multi-bedroom units that reflect the area's polished suburban character. Renters looking for larger floor plans and breathing room will find Melville delivers both, without entirely giving up access to the city.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
