"One belongs to New York instantly. One belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years." Thomas Wolfe
Holtsville is in central Long Island, south of New York City. The very first thing you need to know is that Long Island is not part of New York City. People there do not want to be considered as living in "The City." They do want to be considered New Yorkers. There's a difference, and they'll make it clear if you mix up the two. The hamlet of Holtsville is split between two larger towns, Islip and Brookhaven, on the south side of Long Island. Anywhere in Holtsville is a short drive to the beach. It's also pretty stable, with only about 15% of the 19,714 population renting. See more
