ZIP 11953 has about 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 $17,533 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 46% above the $12,000 typical for Longwood Central School District.
