Holtsville Ranked 9th Best Place for Young Families in NY

According to a recent study by finance website NerdWallet, Holtsville is the ninth best place for young families in New York.

Of the top 10 places on the list, six of them are on Long Island. In putting together its rankings, NerdWallet says it considered home affordability, prosperity and growth, family friendliness and quality of education.

Here’s what the website wrote about Holtsville:

Like its Suffolk County neighbors on this list, Holtsville is another Long Island community with a high proportion of families with children (34.4% of households) and excellent schools (8 at GreatSchools). However, Holtsville provides the most affordability of any of the Long Island places on our list, with a median home value of $348,800. The combination of affordability and excellent amenities should ensure Holtsville will continue to attract young families.

Lake Ronkonkoma came in at No. 12 on the list. See the full rankings and read more about the study here.
