Huntington is large enough, and genuinely subdivided enough, that families often search by hamlet rather than by town -- Cold Spring Harbor and Lloyd Harbor read very differently from Huntington Station or Elwood, even though all four sit within the same town.
This site covers 13 hamlets and villages within Huntington, Suffolk County, from Cold Spring Harbor and Northport on the North Shore to Melville and Dix Hills inland.
