Walking to community parks in Bethpage
Bethpage, located in the middle of Long Island, features highly rated schools, quick commuting options to New York City and easy access to a frequent stop on many PGA tours. “This is a nice, quiet area. We have a train station, ice rink, town pool and little dog park. You always see people walking around with strollers or their dogs. We have lots of dogs,” says Sherry Krapf, a licensed associate real estate broker with Signature Premier Properties and fellow Bethpage resident. Getting outside for some fun is a breeze with the community park and expansive state park. With plenty of housing options and popular recreation spots, Bethpage stays busy with residents exploring the town.

Cape Cods from $500,000
Smaller Cape Cods and ranch-style homes make up most of the market here, and they often sell for $500,000 to $750,000. Colonial-style homes, some built as recently as 2024, sit in the higher range of $800,000 to $1.5 million. “Once you get over $1 million, things aren’t as frenzied because you’ve got that kind of rarified air. But that lower end, $500,000 to $750,000, is very competitive, and we see homes disappearing, on average, in three weeks or less,” says Alan Jurmain, a licensed real estate salesperson at Daniel Gale and Sotheby’s International Realty. With narrow sidewalks running throughout the area, some residents can walk from their homes to Bethpage Community Park or Bethpage High School. The CAP Index crime score for Bethpage is a 2 out of 10, with 10 being the highest. The national average is 4.

Catching a football game at Bethpage High
Students in the northern half of town attend Kramer Lane Elementary School, earning an A-plus from Niche, while kids in the southern half learn at the A-rated Central Boulevard Elementary School. No matter which elementary school kids attend, they move on to John F. Kennedy Middle School and later Bethpage High School, both of which also receive A-plus grades. "Bethpage High has a ton of school spirit. Everyone goes to the football games there,” Krapf says.

Golf at Bethpage Black Course
Bethpage is famous for its 1,477-acre Bethpage State Park, home to five golf courses, including the Bethpage Black Course. “Whenever there’s a major championship golf tournament like the U.S. Open or the PGA Championship at Bethpage, that is certainly an event for a couple of weeks,” Jurmain says. The park also features other athletic fields alongside hiking, biking and equestrian trails. The Bethpage Bike Trail stretches over 13 miles.
Bethpage falls in the Town of Oyster Bay, and Krapf mentions how the Town of Oyster Bay (also called TOBAY) Beach, which is only 20 minutes from town, is a busy residents-only spot with a spray park and restaurants. Bethpage Community Park welcomes guests to hang out in the skate park, ice-skating rink, community pool or paved athletic courts. The Bethpage Public Library and Island Trees Public Library organize movie nights, book clubs and DIY craft workshops.
Bethpage is known for its renowned golf course, home to two US Opens and a PGA Championship.

Shopping and dining in Bethpage
“There are a lot of diners and restaurants. People really like Italiano Ristorante and Red Volpe,” Krapf says. Popei’s Clam Bar is another favorite for fresh seafood, and residents often grab lunch or dinner at Opa Grille for Greek dishes or Patrizia’s of Long Island for Italian. When it’s time to stock up on groceries, King Kullen, Badshah Farmers Market and Patel Brothers have the essentials covered.

Kiwanis Street Fair
The nonprofit Bethpage Central Park Kiwanis Club throws a street fair every May and October to raise money for their youth programs and scholarships. The fair takes over Broadway to make room for food trucks, vendors, parades, live music and carnival rides. Many places of worship fill Bethpage, including St. Martin of Tours Roman Catholic Church, which has been standing since 1923, and the Masjid Al-Baqi, which opened its doors to the community in the early 1990s.

Commuting from Bethpage station
The Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway and Bethpage train station make traveling out of town a breeze. Jones Beach is less than 14 miles south, a trip that takes just 20 minutes, and the Long Island Rail Road takes commuters to New York City in about 45 minutes. “That’s why I think a lot of people want to live in this area,” Jurmain says. “It’s quieter, you get more of a suburban lifestyle, lots of trees, but you’re still close to the city, and it’s easy to get around.”
Cleanup in progress, hurricane season
Bethpage was once the site for the Grumman Aerospace facility until 1996, which caused a groundwater plume from toxic waste that the U.S. Navy and Northrop Grumman Corporation continue to clean up by digging new wells for the community. More wells will continue to be built into 2027.
Like the rest of Long Island, hurricane season can impact Bethpage, but often not as strongly as it impacts coastal communities. There's a major risk of high winds during this season, making them the biggest concern for most homeowners here, but there's also a moderate risk of flooding.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Bethpage is a peaceful, calm, little neighborhood. Everything one might need is here in this town and more. The people are nice, my schooldistrict of Island Trees is well kept and full of friendly faces. The beaches are in extremely close proximity and if more entertainment is needed, the city is an hour away.

I LOVE BETHPAGE, NEW YORK!!!!! I have lived in Bethpage my entire life, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Bethpage has it all - amazing restaurants, ice cream shops, parks and rec, job opportunities, and more! It is the perfect place if you want to live in a super safe neighborhood with fast access to both the beach and the city. Since it is centrally located on Long Island, it is really easy to go to NYC or to any beach, on the north or south shores! Can't say enough good things about this lovely Long Island town.

Bethpage is a quiet town in the suburbs of Long Island. It is about a 40-minute train ride from NYC. It's filled with cute little shops, lots of walking to do and a great park: Bethpage State Park, not to mention the famous Bethpage Golf. The schools are highly rated as well. Each school is has a small number of students, a caring staff, and amazing administrators.
