Living in Shirley
Shirley sits on the South Shore of Brookhaven, straddling the William Floyd Parkway, which runs straight down to Smith Point County Park and the beach on Fire Island. The Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge borders the community, and the William Floyd school district serves local families in what remains one of the more attainable markets on the South Shore.
Housing is largely modest ranches, capes and split-levels on manageable lots, which keeps entry prices friendly for first-time buyers and investors alike. The Mastic-Shirley station on the LIRR's Montauk Branch gives the hamlet a real commuting option, with a transfer for direct city service.
