Islip

A hamlet with a traditional center.

Islip’s Main Street has a recognizable small-scale business district, with established residential roads branching toward the Great South Bay. Older buildings and local landmarks connect the hamlet with the history of the larger town that shares its name.

Traditional houses and later homes provide a range of residential settings. The streets near the center feel different from those closer to the shore. This guide describes Islip hamlet, one community within the much larger Town of Islip.
