Single-family homes in the Wyandanch Union Free School District sold for a median of $585,000 (typically $510,000–$670,000) across 75 recorded sales between Oct 9, 2025 and Sep 25, 2026, up 10.4% on the 12 months before. This home's $300,000 list price sits in the entry single-family tier for the Wyandanch Union Free School District.

ZIP 11704 has about 2.1 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 $11,393 a year, this home's property tax is in line with the roughly $11,000 typical for Wyandanch 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.
