Real Estate

Built in 1931, the house has been continuously updated and maintained in the past 10 years.

Known as Long Island's "Little India," Hicksville has a population that is more than a quarter Asian and almost a third foreign-born, and about 90% homes here are owner-occupied, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The 1,170-square-foot home has an open floor plan, three bedrooms, one bathroom, a spacious eat-in-kitchen, and backyard deck. 

With seniors at a higher risk of severe complications from COVID-19, residents have had to find creative ways to keep spirits up during the pandemic and resulting social distancing.

Most of the house has been updated within five years, including adding high hat lights throughout the house, including in the closets.

The Fairview Drive house has one bathroom, plenty of storage in a shed, garage and unfinished basement and sits on just under a quarter of an acre.

The neighborhood is home to many people whose children grew up and came back and bought in the area because they love the location so much, the agent says.

Station Square, a project formerly known as the Ronkonkoma Hub near the LIRR, has opened, and the first phase of the work — 489 housing units in six buildings — is complete.

Because there's usually more horizontal space, lots of things find their way onto the counters until the surface almost disappears.

Made from carved wood and resin templates, the intricate moldings were installed throughout the house and then hand painted by artists.
