Manorville, NY 11949

Resting just north of Route 27 in the center of Long Island, the hamlet of Manorville sits mostly in the town of Brookhaven, with the Long Island Expressway cutting across its northern strip. Though landlocked, it has easy access to the North Fork and to the Hamptons, especially East Moriches and Westhampton Beach (Fire Island isn’t far, either). With its country clubs, ponds and farms — and even a pair of petting zoos — the hamlet is certainly pleasant, and much of the northeastern section falls squarely within the protected, wooded lands of the Long Island Central Pine Barrens. The 15-year-old Chamber of Commerce sponsors traditional events such as an Easter egg hunt, a community barbecue, and Christmas tree and Hanukkah menorah lighting ceremonies. It’s definitely the Long Island suburbs, with the added value of convenience to some prime North and South Shore destinations.
