Miller Place, New York Relocation Guide

Miller Place is a community of long standing, with several homes predating the Revolution and as such, constitutes a Federal Historic District. The area developed very slowly, and it was not until the mid 1960’s that the community population began to increase substantially. The growth occurred through the construction of a large number of one-family homes and is continuing today. By 1972, the school enrollment was large enough to justify Miller Place having its own high school which opened that year and held its first graduation in 1975.

The community is primarily residential in nature, with little industrial development and some shops and shopping centers. The economic base of the school district is concentrated in private, attractive and well-kept homes.

Stony Brook University, Suffolk County Community College, Dowling College, and the Stony Brook Museums are all located within a short distance of the district, providing the opportunity for varied cultural and intellectual experiences. There are several modern hospitals nearby, including the Stony Brook Medical Center.

Miller Place is readily accessible from all parts of the metropolitan area. The Long Island Expressway, Northern State parkway, Long Island Mac Arthur Airport, Long Island Rail Road, and the Port Jefferson and Bridgeport Ferry Company are all within reasonable distances.

The Miller Place Union Free School district has an enrollment of 3,200 pupils in grades K-12. While many of the school districts in Suffolk County are experiencing significant declines in enrollment, the enrollment in Miller Place has been steadily increasing.
