About 10,300 homes make up Bay Shore CDP. About 54% are detached single-family houses; the rest are split between small multi-unit buildings and attached homes. Most homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and the median year built is 1965. Three-bedroom homes are the most common size, with about a quarter having four or more bedrooms.

Watchogue Creek Park lies about 0.5 miles from the center of Bay Shore, and Bay Shore Marina Park is about 1.3 miles away, both near the Great South Bay waterfront. FEMA estimates that about 10% of Bay Shore CDP sits within a high-risk flood zone, covering areas mapped as AE and VE, where lenders require flood insurance on federally backed mortgages.

As an unincorporated hamlet, Bay Shore has no government of its own; the Town of Islip handles zoning, permits and the certificate of occupancy. Public school assignment depends on address, with parts of the area in the Bay Shore Union Free School District and parts in the Islip Union Free School District; the tax bill determines which one applies. PSEG Long Island supplies electricity, National Grid provides natural gas, and the Suffolk County Water Authority serves most of the area.
