St. James: A Nice Place to Live User Rating 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I really enjoy living in St. James, New York.

There is a lot of history to be found in this town and local residents that have been here their entire lives, are always ready to share a story of how life used to be.

The best areas in St. James, New York include the local beaches. There is a local beach located on the Long Island Sound and you can also take a quick trip to beaches that border the Atlantic Ocean. The area schools have a great reputation, if you have kids. Overall, just a nice place to live. Read Less
