Islip
A classic South Shore hamlet with creeks, a train station and an easy walk to Main Street.
Overview
Islip sits between Bay Shore and East Islip, with Orowoc Creek and Champlin Creek winding down to the bay.
Inland streets are full of well kept colonials and capes. Closer to the water, creek front and bay view homes add boating and a different set of questions about bulkheads and flood insurance.
