11901Aquebogue is a quiet community on Long Island's North Fork, set among farms and overlooking the Peconic Bay. The area has many vineyards, beaches and marinas for getting outside and relaxing. There's a mix of older cottages and larger contemporary houses here, including some vacation homes. That said, there are also many full-time residents, as commuting to New York City is possible by car, train or bus.
Buyers can find smaller cottages and ranch-style homes, as well as larger contemporary houses in Aquebogue. Some homes are in small subdivisions, while others are on large plots surrounded by farms. A few homes overlook the bay. "Over the years, the duck farmers went out, and then you had some developers come in – not a lot, just a few. And a lot of the properties became horse farms. There are quite a few horse farms," says Dolores Peterson, a real estate broker with Douglas Elliman who's lived in the area her entire life.
Homes usually sell for between the lower $400,000s and upper $900,000s in Aquebogue. The median sale price of a home in the community is in the lower $800,000s. That's higher than the neighboring town of Riverhead, but lower than nearby Jamesport.
Peterson explains that, while the area has a lot of seasonal and second homes, many people live in Aquebogue full-time. Many of these people commute to New York City. There are several options for getting there:
Kids can attend Aquebogue Elementary School, which is in the community and part of the Riverhead Central School District. Older students head over to the neighboring town to attend Pulaski Street Intermediate School, Riverhead Middle School and Riverhead High School.
Warm summer days often mean boating on the Peconic Bay or walking along the shoreline of the Long Island Sound. "You have plenty of beaches, and North Fork goes all the way out to Orient Beach State Park. It's only 3 miles wide at its widest spot: you can go from the Long Island Sound and shoot over to the Peconic Bay. A lot of people like to ride their bikes," Peterson says. She says the beaches in Southampton and Westhampton are also popular. "It's beautiful, white sand," she says.
Also in Aquebogue, Indian Island County Park has camping and hiking along Flanders Bay. Just next to the park, Indian Island Country Club has a public, 18-hole course overlooking the water.
