However, much of this is due to higher housing costs and utilities; essentials like groceries, healthcare and transportation are a more in line with national averages.
- As it’s a small community on Long Island that already has relatively low crime rates, Amityville is a very safe place to live. It’s overall crime rate is about half of the national average and much of this is due to property crime. There is some crime that is due to it’s close proximity to the larger metropolitan area of New York.
- The town of Babylon, New York which Amityville is located within, provides a number of senior services for the Amityville community, namely transportation to medical appointments in the area, trips to the grocery store and errands to city offices, like the social security office. Appointments must be made one week in advance.
- The Amityville area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in nearby Mineola.
