Despite what has been depicted in the news and on film, Amityville is a great, friendly place to work and live. The Village of Amityville is a beautiful waterfront community located on the south shore of Long Island, just 20 miles from the New York City line.

There are many lovely old homes in Amityville; some are situated on the Great South Bay while others are found on one of our many tree-lined streets Amityville residents pride themselves in being a "Tree City, USA". Though all the seasons are wonderful, summer is a special time of year as it is our sailing and boating season.

Amityville has its own Village Beach, wonderful summer youth programs and a number of places to fish.

The Town of Babylon Beaches, available to village residents are located on the Atlantic Ocean just 20 minutes away by car across the Robert Moses Bridge. The proximity to NYC makes for a relatively easy commute to Manhattan by car or the Long Island Railroad.

Many lovely older Victorian style homes are in the area, especially along the scenic Great South Bay while others are situated along the many tree-lined streets. Don’t be “afraid” to come see some of these homes for yourself…muah hahahahaha!

The Village is 2.5 miles square, steeped in history, and adorned with many small shops. Amity means friendship and Amityville is "The Friendly Village".
