Holbrook is a hamlet in Suffolk County, New York. The median sale price for homes in Holbrook was $331,500 in 2012, in comparison, the median home price in the Northeast in 2012 was $232,900.
There are a few stories about how Holbrook got its name. The only similarities in each are that both stories involve a stream or brook. One story speculates that the community was called Old Brook, another states the area started as Hollow Brook. The streams and brooks no longer exist, but there has been some geographic evidence that a brook may have existed running from the northeastern side of the community toward the southwest.
The area has undergone major man made changes such as development of new homes and businesses, negating traces of any preexisting waterways.
