Community Profile
Midway between the east and west boundaries of Huntington Town is Centerport, a charming community where many roads lead to the water. Some neighborhoods have private associations with beach and mooring rights, and there are two town beaches, including Centerport Beach, which has a picnic nd pavillion area, playground and senior center.
The area's housing and stock includes renovated bungalows, capes, ranches, colonials and victorians, priced between $399,000 and $3 million. Centerport holds its value because of its proximity to the water - both Northport and Centerport harbors - and its school system - where the ratio of pupils to teachers is favorable and where test scores indicate achievements well above national, state and regional levels, according to the Harborfields school district web site.
