Its honestly one of the best areas to be in. It's a nice and rather safe community, it's also very close to almost everything. All stores are probably a 10 minute drive maximum and theres even the Walt Whitman Shops on 110 too. Great school district as well.

I've lived in South Huntington my entire life and I love it here. I also go to Walt Whitman, and the school and town itself are among the most diverse and unique on Long Island. There's a place in the schools for everyone of every interest, even in the private schools.
