This home's $699,000 list price sits in the entry single-family tier for the Smithtown Central School District.

ZIP 11780 has about 3.6 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 $14,150 a year, this home's property tax is in line with the roughly $15,000 typical for Smithtown 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.
