Single-family homes in the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District sold for a median of $614,000 (typically $550,000–$670,000) across 385 recorded sales between Oct 6, 2025 and Sep 30, 2026, up 5.9% on the 12 months before. This home's $589,990 list price sits in the mid-market single-family tier for the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District.

ZIP 11763 has about 2.3 months of single family inventory — seller's market. Demand is outpacing supply, so homes sell quickly with firm pricing and limited room to negotiate.

At about $7,968 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 28% below the $11,000 typical for Patchogue-Medford Union Free 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.
