Nestled in the heart of western Suffolk County, Commack, New York is one of Long Island’s most desirable places to live. Known for its top-rated schools, convenient location, and tight-knit community, Commack offers the perfect blend of suburban comfort and metropolitan access. It sits uniquely between the Town of Smithtown and the Town of Huntington, giving residents access to the best of both worlds — the shopping, dining, and recreation of two vibrant Long Island towns.
The name “Commack” comes from the Secatogue Native American word Winnecomac, meaning “pleasant lands.” For centuries, this area was prized for its fertile soil and open spaces. Over time, it evolved from farmland to one of Suffolk County’s most thriving suburban communities — while still retaining the charm, greenery, and family-focused character that make it so appealing today.
Commack is filled with local icons and community favorites that make it stand out among Long Island neighborhoods.
Commack Motor Inn – A recognizable landmark off the Long Island Expressway, this retro-style motor inn has been a fixture in the community for decades and remains one of Commack’s most talked-about symbols of local history and character.
Commack Public Library – A centerpiece of the community, the library offers more than just books — it’s a hub for learning, creativity, and connection. With programs for all ages, study spaces, and events that bring neighbors together, it reflects Commack’s focus on education and community engagement.
Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve – This beloved green space offers walking trails, playgrounds, historical buildings, and picnic areas — perfect for a family day outdoors.
Veterans Memorial Park – A beautiful local park that honors those who served and provides open fields, walking paths, and seasonal events.
Commack residents enjoy a lifestyle defined by convenience and connection. With top-tier shopping at Mayfair Shopping Center, Commack Corners, and Tanger Outlets just a short drive away, everything you need is right at your fingertips. Dozens of family-owned restaurants, cafes, and bakeries line the town’s main roads, offering everything from classic Long Island pizza to fine dining.
Recreation opportunities are abundant — whether it’s playing sports in Burr Winkle Park, hiking at Sunken Meadow State Park, or enjoying nearby beaches and golf courses, there’s something for everyone.
The Commack School District is one of Long Island’s most respected public school systems, consistently earning high marks for academic achievement, athletics, and student involvement. The community’s commitment to education is part of what makes Commack such a popular choice for families.
The Commack real estate market is one of the strongest on Long Island. Homebuyers are drawn to its balance of affordability, value, and location. The neighborhood features a mix of spacious ranches, split-level homes, colonials, and custom new builds, many with large properties and quiet tree-lined streets.
Because Commack borders both Huntington and Smithtown, residents enjoy the amenities of both towns while maintaining easy access to major highways like the Long Island Expressway (I-495), Northern State Parkway, and Sunken Meadow Parkway — making it ideal for commuters traveling to New York City or the Hamptons.
