Amityville NY Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Amityville is a village in Suffolk County’s Town of Babylon on the South Shore of Long Island, New York. True to its name, it has come to be known as “the Friendly Bay Village” with amiable residential neighborhoods, beautiful beaches and parks, a boating culture, and a flourishing, walkable downtown shopping and business district.

Local Area Information

Amityville is an incorporated village on the South Shore of Long Island, New York, in the southwest Town of Babylon in Suffolk County along the Nassau-Suffolk County line. It is bordered by North Amityville on the north, Copiague on the east, and East Massapequa in Nassau County’s Town of Oyster Bay on the west. The Great South Bay offers fabulous water views to the southern segments, which are bisected by several canals and lined with many waterfront properties.

The early settlers primarily engaged in farming, fishing, and boating, until the idyllic seaside village became a summer hot spot for artists and affluent Manhattanites at the turn of the 20th century. The waterfront farms and marine facilities were eventually replaced by hotels and large homes to accommodate the summer guests attracted to the comforts offered by the bay with its beaches and cool breezes. In 1894, Amityville became the second community to be incorporated as a village in the Town of Babylon.

The village’s main drag is Broadway, a vibrant consumer and business corridor, though there is also a host of shops, dining options, and other commercial businesses that line Merrick Road. The residential zones comprise single-family homes, condos, and co-ops, some of which may be rentals or luxury homes, have pools or large lots, or located in gated communities, such as Newpointe Estates and Village Estates, which is also a 55+ community. All properties use the Amityville, NY 11701 ZIP code.

The village is sister cities with Le Bourget, a commune in the suburbs of Paris, France. One of the events held in the village is the Amityville Historical Society Annual Heritage Fair, which offers fun and entertainment through the Amityville Trolley Ride, food, merchants, and enjoyable activities for the children.

The village is around 35 miles southeast of Manhattan in New York City and served by the Amityville Station via the Long Island Rail Road’s Babylon Branch. Driving to or from the city takes about an hour and three minutes to an hour and 56 minutes via the Southern State Parkway, Northern State Parkway, or Long Island Expressway.
