Syosset is the 8th best small city in New York, according to a study.

Posted by Movoto, a real estate brokerage site, the report says there is “so much to discover about this little hamlet.”

The study looked at New York communities with between 60,000 and 10,000 residents, and then analyzed its amenities per capita; quality of life, including cost of living, median home price, median rent, median household income, and high school graduation rate; total crimes; tax rates, including sales and income tax; unemployment; commute time; and weather, including temperature and air quality.

So, what did researchers find so appealing about Syosset? According to Movoto:

Despite being home to only 18,829 friendly people, this place still had the 30th most amenities, thanks to spots like Village Heros and Kado. What more do you need?

Well, if you need a high quality of life, Syosset has you covered, as it ranked the third best in that category. It also had the 18th lowest crime and the 64th best weather, if you were interesting in taking any long walks to enjoy the scenery.

Lastly, if you were worried about getting a job, there’s no need to fret. The unemployment rate here was a mere 4.2 percent, ranking 14th on our list.
