116 6th Street, Saint James — Home Profile
Saint James doesn’t announce itself. No flashy waterfront corridor, no highway-exit retail strip claiming to be a downtown. It’s the kind of North Shore hamlet you find because someone pointed you toward it — a neighbor, a friend with a house there, a broker who actually knows the territory. That’s the way it’s always been, and 116 6th Street is exactly the kind of home the neighborhood produces: solid square footage at a price that still makes sense, in a school district that draws buyers from three towns over.
Five bedrooms, four full baths, 2,800 square feet on a quarter-acre lot — this is the kind of layout that works for everyone from growing families to multi-generational households. This profile goes beyond the listing sheet. Below you’ll find verified property data, school district detail, tax information, and the neighborhood context that actually moves decisions.

School District
Saint James Elementary earns a 4-star SchoolDigger rating and consistently outperforms both district and state averages in math and reading proficiency. Smithtown High School East holds a Niche A-rating and ranks in the top 110 public high schools in New York State — with a 60% AP participation rate and a student-teacher ratio of 12:1. The district serves roughly 7,700 students across 12 schools and maintains 100% teacher licensure. For families, this is one of the legitimate draws of the North Shore’s mid-island corridor.
The Neighborhood
Four Blocks to the LIRR
117 6th Street, directly across the street, notes it’s four blocks from the Long Island Rail Road. That proximity — walkable to the Saint James station on the Port Jefferson Branch — is a genuine commuter asset that rarely shows up in a listing description but quietly shapes resale value.
Village Scale Without the Village Price
Saint James sits between Stony Brook and Smithtown — close to everything, without the premiums that attach to either. It’s a hamlet with a Main Street identity, a functioning arts scene, and the kind of density that keeps things quiet without feeling remote.
Highway Access
Minutes from the Long Island Expressway and Jericho Turnpike. Whether you’re heading west toward the city or east toward the North Fork and the Hamptons, 116 6th Street is positioned at the center of Long Island’s transit and highway grid.
Shopping & Services
North Country Road, Lake Avenue, and the Route 25A corridor put a full range of retail, dining, and services within easy reach. Stony Brook Village Center and Smith Haven Mall are both a short drive — convenience without congestion.
What Makes This Home Stand Out
Five Bedrooms at This Price Point Is Rare for Saint James
The median single-family sale price in Saint James sits around $800,000. At $725,000, this home comes in below market median while delivering 2,800 square feet and five bedrooms — a combination that’s genuinely hard to replicate at this number in the Smithtown school district.
Every Bedroom Paired with Bath Access
Four full bathrooms across five bedrooms means no real compromise on morning logistics — whether it’s a household of teenagers, a multi-generational setup, or guests staying for a week. That kind of ratio is a layout decision that ages well.
Smithtown Schools Without the Smithtown Price Premium
The Smithtown Central School District consistently earns A-level ratings from Niche and top-20% rankings from SchoolDigger. Properties in this district frequently command a premium — and this one prices below the neighborhood median, making the school access all the more notable.
Walkable to the LIRR
Four blocks to the Saint James LIRR station on the Port Jefferson Branch. That’s a commuter advantage that doesn’t require a car — and in a region where most Suffolk listings require a drive to the station, it’s a meaningful practical distinction.
