Single-family homes in the Smithtown Central School District sold for a median of $845,000 (typically $735,000–$990,000) across 422 recorded sales between Oct 20, 2025 and Oct 2, 2026, up 4.3% on the 12 months before. This home's $1,699,990 list price sits in the luxury single-family tier for the Smithtown Central School District.

ZIP 11780 has about 3.4 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 $24,642 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 64% above the $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.
