Single-family homes in the Three Village Central School District sold for a median of $835,000 (typically $730,000–$995,000) across 342 recorded sales between Nov 5, 2025 and Nov 2, 2026, up 7.7% on the 12 months before. This home's $1,149,000 list price sits in the upper single-family tier for the Three Village Central School District.

ZIP 11790 has about 1.4 months of single family inventory — hot seller's market. Severe inventory shortage — homes sell fast and often draw multiple offers over asking, giving sellers maximum leverage.

At about $14,117 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 12% below the $16,000 typical for Three Village 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.
