Living in Selden
Selden sits at the geographic center of Brookhaven, built around the Middle Country Road (Route 25) commercial strip and home to Suffolk County Community College's Ammerman campus. It's served by the Middle Country school district and sits minutes from the Smith Haven Mall and the shops of neighboring Lake Grove, making it one of the more convenient everyday-living spots in central Suffolk.
The housing here is classic post-war Long Island — capes, ranches and high-ranches on modest lots — at price points that make Selden a reliable landing spot for first-time buyers. There's no train in the hamlet; residents typically drive to the electrified Ronkonkoma line and use the nearby Long Island Expressway.
