Suffolk County Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 2 reviews
I like it here. I have not lived here all my life but it is very peaceful and quiet. I recommend if you like a quiet area by 9 pm.
I lived here for more than 20 years. This place has opened up new buildings such as restaurants and nightlife that make it well worth exploring still even as a old resident.
