History, affordability and plenty of parks in East Setauket
The historic hamlet of East Setauket, sometimes called Setauket—East Setauket is perched on the Long Island Sound waterfront. The community is famous for its connections to the American Revolution, from the Battle of Setauket to being home to the Culper Spy Ring, whose intelligence turned the tide of the war. Today, this history is displayed proudly around town, while residents live in stately coastal homes and are within reach of several vibrant parklands for recreation.
In Setauket-East there are plenty of original buildings from the mid-17th century like these 2-story retail buildings.

Hiking, swimming and cycling across the neighborhood
Laurel Ridge Setauket Woods Nature Preserve is an expansive glacier moraine woodland park within Setauket, with 26 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. To the north is Flax Sand Beach along Long Island Sound. The beach allows for swimming and paddling at safe tidal times, while anglers can catch striped bass and flounder. There are also designated zones at the beach for waterfowl hunting. The 3-mile Setauket Greenway Trail is a paved multipurpose path developed in the late 2000s, and it has improved pedestrian access around town, stretching from Setauket to the neighboring Port Jefferson Station community.

Midcentury homes on spacious suburban lots
East Setauket's home market ranges from $680,000 to $1.3 million, varying by age, square footage and lot size. “It's not the Hamptons or Nassau County; it's more affordable," says Lynn Sabatelle, a Long Island local and associate real estate broker with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. "However, this little area is becoming increasingly expensive, so people usually stay here for a long time. It's not really a transient community." Buyers can find ramblers, bilevels, Colonial Revivals and Craftsman-style condos built from the end of World War II through the 1990s. A drive through the community reveals wide residential roads lined with shady front yard trees. Lawns are often spacious, as this suburb was settled on age-old rolling farmland.
Homes like these are common in Setauket-East Setauket.

The church building still has several bullet holes from the battle. History buffs can also travel to Patriots Rock, a massive boulder where the Patriot forces planned their attack on the loyalists. The Three Village Historical Society offers walking, biking and kayak tours around Setauket for folks to learn more about the area's history.

Locals can reach New York City by car or train, or Connecticut by ferry
"It used to be more of a commuting area, though not so much today because a lot of people work from home," says Sabatelle. "A lot of people work at Stony Brook or Brookhaven National Laboratory nearby." Locals can head a couple of miles west to the Stony Point LIRR station to access major hubs across the island or to Manhattan in about two to three hours.
