Houses for rent in Huntington, NY
If you want a yard, a garage, and room to spread out, a house rental in Huntington, NY gives you far more space than an apartment — and the North Shore has everything from village-edge colonials to waterfront homes on the Northport and Centerport harbors. This guide covers what houses rent for in 2026, which neighborhoods and school districts to target, and how to move quickly when the right one lists.
Renting a house here appeals to families and professionals who want to settle into a specific school district or neighborhood without buying. Tell us the district, budget, and move date and a local will match you with houses that fit — the renter request is free, and it beats refreshing listing sites for a rare single-family rental.

What house rentals cost in Huntington
Single-family house rentals in Huntington generally start around $3,200/month for a modest two- or three-bedroom and climb past $6,000 for larger four-bedroom homes in sought-after districts like Half Hollow Hills. Waterfront and village-center homes command a premium for location, and true harbor-front rentals are rare enough that they seldom hit the open market for long.
Houses usually mean higher up-front and ongoing costs than apartments — expect first month, a one-month security deposit, and responsibility for more of the utilities, heating oil or gas, and lawn care. Factor those into your budget when you compare a house against a larger apartment.
Where to look — neighborhoods and school districts
Families usually start with the school district. The big ones are Huntington, Harborfields (covering Greenlawn and Centerport), Northport-East Northport, and Half Hollow Hills (Dix Hills and Melville). Each has a distinct feel: Centerport and Northport offer harbor charm and beach access, Huntington Village puts you within walking distance of town, and Dix Hills and Melville trade walkability for larger lots and an easy Route 110 commute.
If you already know the district you need, say so in your request — we'll focus your matches there instead of sending homes across the wrong catchment.
Moving fast on a rare rental
Single-family rentals are a small slice of the Huntington market, so the good ones go quickly and often quietly. The renters who land them are pre-qualified and ready to tour on short notice. Send us a renter request with your district, budget, and timing, and we'll alert you when a matching house lists — often before it's widely advertised.
