In the decades following [[World War II]], the population of Miller Place greatly expanded, and the majority of beach cottages were repurposed as family homes.

A 2012 plan by the Town of Brookhaven aims to comprehensively manage Route 25A between [[Mount Sinai, NY|Mount Sinai]] and [[Wading River, NY|Wading River]] under planning strategies counter to those of car-oriented mid-century suburbia. For Miller Place, it intends to transition the section at Echo and Sylvan Avenues into a traditional downtown center with new mixed-use development and an expanded Sylvan Avenue Park that would complement the current town post office and senior center. The plan additionally calls for the preservation of the DeLea Sod Farm, the largest agricultural parcel remaining on the Miller Place stretch of Route 25a.<ref name="25a plan">{{cite web|url=http://www.brookhaven.org/DesktopModules/Bring2mind/DMX/Download.aspx?Command=Core_Download&EntryId=5030&PortalId=0&TabId=134|title=Route 25A - Mount Sinai to Wading River Draft Land Use Plan}}</ref>
