North Fork Summer Repose

If you are looking for a summer home, there is no better place to be than the North Fork of Long Island. Check out Southold, Greenport, Jamesport, Mattituck, Cutchogue, Orient and Riverhead, for starters. I’ve included a map to make the decision a little easier.
This is an area full of age diversity, and The Suffolk Times newspaper is constantly full of activities for everyone, whether it be a Scrabble match (National Headquarters located in Greenport NY! ), science camp for the kids, play groups, bird watching tours, sailing lessons, days at the beach, visits to local vineyards for wine tastings and an education on the process…and the list goes on. And on- tag sales with REALLY cool stuff, great local restaurants (we like O’Mally’s and Modern Snack Bar ) and a feeling that the summer was created to spend in this enclave.
With the possible exception of church on Sunday, casual is the order of the day. No pomp expected here, no worries about leaving the house without make up. Don’t even bring it. People that summer and live in the North Fork are more interested in land preservation, walking, socializing (try a Lobster Fest for fun) and playing.
Boasting a rich history, Southold and the surrounding hamlets have families that have been here since the inception of the town.
Kids love it here. In Greenport, there is a terrific skate park for the skateboard contingent- shop at unique retailers while they enjoy their “thing”. Summer creates activities for families- bands play in the central park of downtown Southold in the evenings, there are sailing clubs that encourage friendly competition, and there are events nearly every day that encourage families to spend quality time learning about nature, about arts, and about a simple life.
We’d love to assist you in the investigation of a superb summer home in the North Fork of Long Island- click on homes, call us with questions, and let us know how we can share this amazing place. If you’d like to explore by spending a weekend here, we have a number of terrific Bed and Breakfast opportunities - let us know, and we’ll spend a weekend locating your summer retreat!

Hey Laurie,
I personally think the ends of the earth out there are beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. It’s probably not the first thing people think of on the island. I know a lot of folks that immediately think traffic, bad accents, Mets fans and guidos as far as the eye can see but once you get far enough out on the Island it’s a whole new world.
I used to take the ferry across from New England when I lived in Boston, oh so many years ago. Now I get out that once in a while. Kind of a long drive when you live in the Catskills but worth every minute.
