Finding the Right Home

  • Where do you want to live? Do you prefer an old house or a new house? How many bedrooms will you need for your family? Do you want to live in a downtown area or a more rural area? Do you want a detached single family house, an attached townhouse, condominium or cooperative? There are many options to be considered in making this decision.

  • In Suffolk County, most families live in single family houses, in which you own both the house and the land.

  • Condominiums offer a different version of ownership in which each housing unit is individually owned and all residents collectively own the common areas of the building. Click here for a list of condominiums in Suffolk County.

  • Cooperatives are similar to a condominium in that there are multiple individual units within one building or complex. However, it differs legally because the owners of the co-ops own shares in a corporation rather than owning the individual unit where they live.
