Single-family homes in the Amityville Union Free School District sold for a median of $685,000 (typically $615,000–$760,000) across 106 recorded sales between Oct 9, 2025 and Oct 2, 2026, up 3.8% on the 12 months before.

At about $9,740 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 30% below the $14,000 typical for Amityville Union Free School District.

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.
