Hello, I am looking for info about the Greenport community. We are thinking about buying a small cottage/second home there. Any reason why the taxes appear to be much lower than other towns in this area? Thanks
Greenport's downtown (approx. 1/2 mile of little shops and restaurants, plus they have a carousel that gets a lot of play) is the big tourist draw, but in my opinion a decent amount of Greenport is fairly run down. Crime is an issue there more than any other hamlet on the North Fork (unless you consider Riverhead part of the North Fork).
With that said, there are still some decent areas in Greenport. Just have to check out the neighborhood and see if it's family-friendly, or if it's the aforementioned run-down sections.
For the money, I'd probably aim more for Peconic, Southold, Cutchogue or Mattituck.

For those who may not be familiar with Greenport:
Greenport is a village (incorporated in 1838) in the east part of the Town of Southold, in the northeast part of Suffolk County.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Village of Greenport in the Town of Southold is bordered on the north, east and west by the Hamlet of West Greenport; and, on the south by the Peconic Bay.
The Village of Greenport has a different border than does the "Greenport, NY" ZIP Code postal zone (there are places that have a "Greenport, NY 11944" mailing address that are not in the Village of Greenport): places that have a "Greenport, NY 11944" mailing address that are not in the Village of Greenport are in the Hamlet of West Greenport.
There's a little Greek restaurant type place off the road in Greenport that I've been to once that is absolutely FAN-TAS-TIC. You can sit outside in good weather on the "deck" which is sort of up on a little hill off the main road there that passes by. OUT-STANDING food.

Great place to eat & watch fireworks on the 4th!
