Condos in the Longwood Central School District sold for a median of $405,000 (typically $325,000–$470,000) across 359 recorded sales between Oct 6, 2025 and Oct 1, 2026, up 1.5% on the 12 months before. This home's $715,000 list price sits in the luxury condo tier for the Longwood Central School District.

At about $7,171 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 43% above the $5,000 typical for Longwood Central School District. Suffolk bills combine town, school and special-district levies, so two homes at the same price in neighboring districts can carry materially different taxes. Exemptions such as STAR, Senior or Veteran move the number as well — a new owner's bill is often not the same as the seller's.

Yaphank Market Trend

Over the past 2 years, Yaphank has resisted a single storyline: the median sale price has bounced between $455K and $935K, the kind of swing that typically reflects a thin or mixed market. After a softer stretch, the most recent months have seen prices tick back up. Homes here have lately been going under contract in roughly 61 days. Part of why that median has moved unevenly month to month is mix shift — which property types happen to sell. The roughly $625K blended median combines very different types, so a stretch heavy on single-family (around $675K) versus one heavy on condos (around $500K) can swing the all-types figure on its own, independent of any change in value. Of 124 recent sales, condos made up the largest share at about 56% with a median near $500K, single-family about 44% near $675K. Because the most common type sold here is also the lowest-priced, the blended figure tends to sit below the single-family median rather than above it — so a typical single-family house has tended to sell closer to $675K, roughly $50K over the headline number. These are past medians, not predictions or guarantees, and individual properties vary widely; anyone weighing a specific property should review current comparable sales for that property type.
