Hello, You can expect to pay around $1,851 for rent here. With a population of 24,940, Smithtown is a small town. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Would love some local perspective. Cheers.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want dating scene, then yeah this place is great. But if walkability matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good internet infrastructure
- The healthcare scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Highland area are excellent. Kids love it here.

I've been living here for 3 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The traffic is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..
