Market Analysis: 11716 Bohemia

In practical terms, ZIP 11716 has challenges — vacancy pressure, softer price growth, and tenant stability concerns sit alongside the $721K median. It rewards specialists, not generalists.

Looking more closely, the numbers look inviting — $721K purchase price, 0.0% nominal cap — the work to hit that pro forma in 11716 is substantial and deserves full respect.

Nearby ZIPs in Bohemia have seen price recovery that 11716 has not matched. Suffolk County data supports the view that the spread is structural rather than temporary.

Looking more closely, 9,750 residents fill the ZIP, renter turnover runs higher than neighboring postal codes and delinquency risk is a real line item rather than a theoretical one.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 2.9%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (2.9%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
