The South Setauket area claims a rich tradition in ship building, pianos, rubber products, and even farming.  In the more recent past, South Setauket has become a sought-after suburb of lovely homes that derives a great deal of its appeal from environmental conservation and the restoration of grand architecture from the past.  South Setauket holds a coveted place in American history as one of the key sources of intelligence for George Washington during the war.  An outstanding school system and surroundings of natural beauty are both king pins that eased the transition of this manufacturing center into a pleasing residential haven.  The Setauket Mill Pond and Melville Park offer an abundance of lush and quiet landscapes for residents who also enjoy great dining, convenient services and a high quality of life.
