South Farmingdale New York Homes for Sale

Located in the town of Oyster Bay, the area that surrounds the incorporated village of South Farmingdale has a long history of manufacturing and industrial activity. Although the early farms prompted the state to establish the Agricultural and Technical College in the early 1900s, most of those that remained after World War I were purchased by companies looking for manufacturing space. Unlike many of the Long Island villages that grew with residential development, Farmingdale's first boom was driven by industrial expansion. The rest of the open space quickly vanished in the post World War II building boom. Today's residents enjoy a well-balanced community that offers convenient shopping, services, dining opportunities, civic and social groups, tree-lined neighborhoods, and a close-knit atmosphere. Bethpage State Park provides outstanding recreational opportunities.
