Operating in Amityville since 1978, the Amityville Post Office at 77 Ireland Place has become a fixture in the heart of this Long Island community. Situated just a block south of the bustling intersection of Merrick Road and Ireland Place, it provides essential postal services to the residents of Amityville and the surrounding areas of North Amityville and Copiague. The immediate neighborhood is a mix of residential homes, local businesses like the popular Amityville Meat Market located at 174 Merrick Road, and professional offices. The Post Office serves a diverse demographic, from young families residing in the tree-lined streets off Ocean Avenue to retirees who have called Amityville home for decades. A unique aspect of the Amityville Post Office is its role in processing mail for the iconic Amityville Horror house, located a little over a mile away on Ocean Avenue, and the associated media attention it occasionally receives. The Post Office is also a significant location for residents of the nearby Amityville Village housing authority complex on Albany Avenue, many of whom rely on the Post Office for essential services like money orders and package pickup. Historically, the area around the post office was once a hub for shipbuilding and maritime commerce in the 19th century, reflected in the names of streets like Ketcham Avenue and Whaler’s Way. Today, the Amityville Post Office stands as a testament to the community’s resilience and adaptability, providing crucial services in an ever-changing world. The Post Office is within easy walking distance of several local landmarks, including the Amityville Historical Society on Broadway, the Lauder Museum, and the Amityville Public Library on Oak Street, making it a convenient stop for residents running errands or exploring the village’s rich history. It also manages the mail for nearby schools like Amityville Memorial High School and Park Avenue Elementary, playing a small but important part in the lives of local students and their families. The building itself replaced an older, smaller post office that stood diagonally across the intersection. The current building was designed to handle the increased volume of mail that came with Amityville’s population growth in the late 1970s and 1980s. The Post Office is a crucial conduit for local businesses, managing bulk mailings for businesses like Huntington Linen Supply located further east on Merrick Road and processing shipping for online retailers operating out of Amityville homes. During peak seasons like the holidays, the Post Office sees a dramatic increase in traffic, often leading to long lines and extended wait times. Staffing levels are typically increased during these periods to cope with the surge in demand. The Post Office also provides services to the many boat owners in the area, who frequently need to register boats, receive equipment shipments, and file various forms related to their maritime activities. Local volunteer fire departments like the Amityville Fire Department on Oak Street also depend heavily on the Post Office for internal communications and receiving equipment deliveries. The Post Office also serves as a drop-off location for absentee ballots during local and national elections, playing a key role in facilitating civic engagement within the community. In recent years, the Amityville Post Office has adapted to the changing needs of the community by offering services like online package tracking, self-service kiosks, and expanded hours during peak seasons. Despite the rise of digital communication, the Post Office remains a vital part of the Amityville community, providing essential services and connecting people in a tangible way.

Located at AMITYVILLE POST OFFICE at 77 IRELAND PLACE. Easy access from major highways.
Parking at the Amityville Post Office can be challenging, especially during peak hours. The Post Office has a small, dedicated lot with approximately 18 spaces directly in front of the building on Ireland Place. These spaces are free but often fill up quickly. Alternatively, street parking is available on Ireland Place and the adjacent side streets, but be mindful of parking restrictions and meters. Most metered spots on Ireland Place cost $1.50 per hour and are enforced Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM. A larger, 47-space free parking lot is located behind the Amityville Village Hall on Broadway, approximately 0.2 miles (a 3-minute walk) west of the Post Office. During winter months, be aware that street parking may be affected by snow removal operations, and the parking lot can become icy. In the summer, the asphalt in the parking lot can get very hot, so be cautious when walking. For passport appointments, arriving early to secure parking is highly recommended. Consider parking further away and walking if necessary, particularly during busy periods. Another option is the municipal lot off Park Avenue. While it is a slightly longer walk (approximately 4 blocks), it usually has available spaces and provides a safer option than circling the block repeatedly.
The Amityville Post Office is conveniently accessible via public transportation. The Suffolk County Transit S42 bus route stops directly in front of the Post Office on Ireland Place, providing connections to Babylon and Lindenhurst. The S42 runs approximately every 30 minutes during peak hours and hourly during off-peak times. A single ride costs $2.25, payable with cash or the Suffolk Fast Card. The Amityville Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) station is located approximately 0.7 miles (a 15-minute walk) north of the Post Office. Upon exiting the station, walk south on Oak Street, turn left onto Merrick Road, then right onto Ireland Place. The Post Office will be on your left. LIRR service to Amityville is frequent, with trains running every 30-60 minutes during peak hours and hourly during off-peak hours. A one-way ticket to Penn Station in Manhattan costs approximately $14.75 during peak hours and $10.75 during off-peak hours. The LIRR station is fully accessible with elevators and ramps. Both the S42 bus and the LIRR offer wheelchair accessibility. Consider using the Transit app or the LIRR Train Time app for real-time schedules and service updates.

Arriving at Amityville Post Office, you’ll notice its classic brick facade, typical of many post offices built in the late 20th century. The main entrance faces Ireland Place and is accessible via a short flight of stairs with a handrail. There is also a wheelchair-accessible ramp to the right of the stairs. Upon entering, you’ll find yourself in a relatively small lobby with a high ceiling and fluorescent lighting. To your immediate left are a series of post office boxes. For passport services, proceed to the customer service counter located at the back of the lobby, to window number 3. Checking in typically involves taking a number from the dispenser located near the entrance and waiting for your number to be called. If you have a scheduled appointment, inform the clerk at window 3 upon arrival. A typical passport appointment lasts between 18-22 minutes, depending on the complexity of the application and the completeness of your documentation. Seating is limited, with only a few plastic chairs available along the wall. The overall atmosphere is generally calm and efficient, though it can become crowded during peak hours, particularly around lunchtime and after school. The facility is equipped with automatic doors for accessibility, and there is a designated area for filling out forms with magnifying glasses available for those who need them.
