Local Area Information

Huntington Station is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Huntington in northwest Suffolk County on Long Island, New York. It is surrounded by the hamlet of Huntington to the north and northeast, Greenlawn to the east, South Huntington to the south, West Hills to the southwest, and Cold Spring Harbor to the northwest.

The community began in the 19th century with the arrival of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) in the area. If the LIRR hadn’t built the Huntington Station, there wouldn’t be a Huntington Station. In 1867, the railroad expanded to the hills south of Huntington in an area known then as “Fairground” and established a station surrounded by farmland. The town adopted the name of the railroad station and became known as Huntington Station.

The area today provides a wide variety of first-rate dining and retail options largely clustered along New York Avenue, Depot Road, and East/West Jericho Turnpike, which forms Huntington Station’s southern border.

Residential districts are made up of mostly single-family homes, though there are also plenty of condos, co-ops, and other multifamily residences. A number of homes are rentals, new constructions, potential mother-daughter, have accessory apartments, or located in gated communities. Luxury homes on large lots tend to have a pool and an expansive backyard, providing some privacy and a quiet environment. Most addresses use the Huntington Station, NY 11746 ZIP code, while others use the 11743 ZIP code.

The neighborhood is approximately 35 miles northeast of Manhattan, New York City, and served by the LIRR via the Port Jefferson Branch. The Huntington Station is the starting point of many trains going to New York City, since it is where the electrification for the Port Jefferson Branch also begins, making the hamlet an important center in the area.

Traveling to or from the city by car takes about an hour and five minutes to an hour and 47 minutes via the Long Island Expressway or Northern State Parkway.
