The Bay Shore market specifically
Southside Hospital (Northwell) is based here, and a revitalizing downtown has added new senior and mixed-use housing alongside the village's established Atria Bay Shore community, occupying a restored 19th-century mansion.
Families weighing Bay Shore often also look at Babylon to the west or Patchogue to the east, all connected by the same LIRR Babylon Branch line.
