Centereach: A Pricey Long Island Hotspot 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Living in Centereach can be pretty expensive.

The beaches are close on either side, and they're always busy when the weather is nice. If you're looking for a job, you'll probably have better luck finding a summer or part-time job rather than something long term.

While the best area in Centereach is probably the beach, there are also a lot of parks around that you can check out for a picnic or a morning jog before it gets too hot. It's the kind of place that is much more fun in the summer unless you don't mind a relatively quiet winter. Read Less
