Long Island, New York is located just east of Manhattan, and consists of quaint harbor towns, beaches, farmlands, and a plethora of residential communities. At 125 miles long, Long Island provides residents with pleasurable year-round living, as well as vacation amenities that are perfect for a summer retreat or second home. Those who live in nearby New York City may frequently travel to Long Island (particularly The Hamptons), to escape the city heat during the summer. Cool ocean breezes and beautiful homes are just two of the reasons why Long Island real estate continues to grow.
Long Island residents and visitors can access all of the cultural and culinary treats of New York City, as the metropolis is easily accessible from Long Island by car, rail, or bus.
What makes Long Island homes so irresistible? Visitors and inhabitants simply cannot resist the white, sandy beaches and lush, winding roads of Long Island. During the spring, crocuses, daffodils, tulips, and rhododendrons are in full bloom in the area, creating a wonderful explosion of color and aromas. Each summer, masses of people flock to the beaches to swim, sunbathe, and simply relax. During the fall, the foliage in Long Island provides residents and visitors with breathtaking views of the rolling hills of the tree-lined north shore, and the beautiful bayside parks on the south. At this time, residents and visitors enjoy deserted beaches, quiet nature walks, wine tastings, and autumn festivals. The winter season is also thriving, as Long Island offers an array of indoor entertainment, including superb dining, art galleries, museums, theater, and more. Outdoor activities during the winter include deer watching, ice skating, sledding, and cross-country skiing. Long Island real estate offers plenty to do, all throughout the year.
The area of Long Island is perhaps best suited for those who partake in golfing and water sports, including boating and fishing. World famous beaches are located in Long Island, and include Jones Beach, Robert Moses State Park, South and North Fork, and of course the famous Hamptons and Montauk.
The area boasts an excellent school system, including colleges and universities such as Adelphi University, Briarcliffe College, Dowling College, Hofstra University, Molloy College, Suffolk Community College, Nassau Community College, Polytechnic University, SUNY, the US Merchant Marine Academy, and many more. There are also three large libraries in Long Island, and two research institutions.
