Single-family homes in the Bay Shore Union Free School District sold for a median of $680,000 (typically $590,000–$770,000) across 172 recorded sales between Nov 10, 2025 and Nov 2, 2026, up 4.6% on the 12 months before. This home's $849,990 list price sits in the upper single-family tier for the Bay Shore Union Free School District.

ZIP 11706 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 $14,414 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 20% above the $12,000 typical for Bay Shore 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.
