Incorporated Long Island village with quiet streets and ample amenities
Located in north central Long Island, Village of the Branch is a small one-square-mile residential section of Smithtown that features a 20-acre historic district with colonial buildings dating back to the 1700s. This area is incorporated and manages its own utilities like water and waste. Residents pay extra taxes but benefit from having a bigger say in municipal decision-making. “It’s an easier process for homeowners to deal with the town,” says Christine Daddio, an agent with Howard Hanna Coach Realtors and a resident of neighboring Smithtown proper. “Homes are on secluded residential streets but are also close to tons of shopping.”
