Cultural Life on North Shore-North Fork of Long Island (Hampton: home, taxes)

[jenbooks13]

. You're right in a way. How often do I get to my favorite museum, The museum of natural history? Not much. That's a good argument for moving.

I'll definitely take that drive.

They should elect you ambassador of RP!
Interesting insight about SB--reminds me of what Isabelle said about Stonybrook, that because there are very pricey homes there, they pull all the rest up in price.

Probably moreso than just about ANY suburban area in the US.
If you wanna see Zero Culcha check out SoCal

Its funny...I get a kick out of city folk and culcha.
Sadly they seem to get to the Museums about as much as we get to the beach.
(When youre paying 4k a month for 800sf....its all hands on deck.)


As for Bklyn... I'd just drive unless its rush hour.(1:15 to Bay Ridge from RP)
You can check LIRR to Flatbush from Ronkonoma too.

The only think I can say about why SB is cheapest is proably due to the slightly higher volume of rentals.
Plus SB doesnt really have an upscale area skewing the prices north.
RP and MP both have a few.
(Scotts Beach is really MP)

Either way theyre all good and your about 15min up NCR from SUNY SB to Lower RP Road.
(Take Shore Dr though Mt Sinai... its awesome)

Best of luck to ya

Ironically, I probably spent more time this summer in NYC at the Theater and the Museums than I did at the Ocean.
I guess we can take stuff in our backyards for granted.
Gotta make the time.

As for the differences.
If I found the right house... I would buy SB all day long.

I have friends and family there.
They love it, but I'm an RP guy.


Hope to see you around soon

This will be a 4000 sft post modern waterfront shortly.
They'll leave one wall up so its tecnically an "extension"and not new contruction to beat the taxes.
Gotta love Crookhaven

Well, to be fair, almost everywhere in the NY metro is the same...

Theres still some great waterviews to be had on the cheap

Great view and a quick sroll to Friendship beach.

Put 200k in this and its easily worth 1M.

It's a neat property and with some updating and improvements could be a great property.

If the home has a solid foundation with proper footings, one could go up a 2nd floor easily. Full 2nd, no dormer. Hardwood flooring throughout. Cedar siding 4 or 5" to the weather with white trim, for a Hampton shingle style cottage home. A balcony off the 2nd floor master BR & bath (all the better to enjoy drowsy sunrises or intimate sunsets) under which is situated a 4 sunroom. All Marvin windows and doors -- French wood out to the sunroom.

I think I went over budget! LOL

Man thats a great location for a house. You can't beat it when the pictures of the INTERIOR cannot hide the views of the sound.

Someone will have a gem.
