quiet town by the sound 3 rating By cgc505 ( Apr 11, 2015) My family and I have now lived in Sound Beach for two years. We were transferred to Long Island by my husband's employer.

Our criteria for finding a Long Island town were as follows: great schools, rent under $2,000,and safety. After lots of online research and enlisting in help from a realtor, Sound Beach seemed to be the only place that fit the bill. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
-great schools(Miller Place school district)
-affordable( by Long Island standards)
-safe
_about 50 miles from NYC
_close proximity to nice towns such as Miller Place and Port Jefferson
Cons:

-expensive( by US standards)
-no sidewalks
-long,hard winters
_no close access to the 495
_no sense of community and a hard place to make friends
All in all my family has had a nice experience on Long Island but are looking forward to moving somewhere with mild winters and where you can get more bang for your buck. Read Less
