Where Dix Hills sits
The geography matters more than it sounds when you are comparing streets.
Dix Hills is on the southern edge of the Town of Huntington, and it borders the Town of Babylon to its south. The Long Island Expressway passes almost straight through the middle of the hamlet, which splits it into distinct areas for anyone comparing commutes, noise, or lot access.
The terrain is hilly and entirely inland — the census-designated place contains no water area. That shape is part of why driveways, sight lines, and drainage can differ so much from one block to the next.
Schools in Dix Hills
Two districts reach into the hamlet, so the address decides the school.
Most of Dix Hills is served by the Half Hollow Hills Central School District. Its elementary schools include Otsego, Paumanok, Signal Hill, Sunquam, and Vanderbilt; middle schools are Candlewood and West Hollow; and the high schools are Half Hollow Hills High School East and High School West.
A smaller portion of the southeast is in the Commack School District. Commack Middle School and Rolling Hills Elementary are physically located within Dix Hills.
School attendance zones can change, and a district boundary does not always follow a street or a ZIP code. Confirm the assigned schools for a specific address directly with the district before you rely on it.
