Relaxed, Bohemian vibe in Springs
Surrounded by Gardiner’s Bay on three sides at the eastern tip of Long Island, Springs has long been recognized for the kind of beauty that inspires great art. Something about the area’s rural charm and the way the light glances across the Accabonac Harbor inspired artists like Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner and Elaine and Willem de Kooning to live and create there. That influence continues today. “It has a big art scene, and the landscape is why. Because it’s so beautiful, and there are a lot of beautiful bay beaches and little creeks,” says Jennifer Wilson, licensed real estate salesperson at Saunders & Associates who has sold homes in Springs and the rest of East Hampton for 20 years. “When East Hampton Village is crazy, and there’s a lot of traffic, you go to Springs, and you just feel like you’re away. It’s a more relaxed Bohemian type of vibe.” Art shows might be a rare event in other neighborhoods, but in Springs, they’re frequent and beloved.

Bay beaches, kayaking and paddleboarding on the Accobonac Harbor
As is fitting for a neighborhood known for its natural beauty, people spend a lot of time outside here. “People paddleboard, people hike — there’s beautiful hiking trails,” Wilson says. “And the bay beaches are gorgeous to just go and sit on.” With sweeping waterfront views, Maidstone Park features a well-maintained beach and a bluff-side baseball field. Both Maidstone Beach and Flaggy Hole Beach can have rockier coastlines depending on the tide, so it’s wise to have a pair of water shoes ready. The picturesque Accabonac Harbor is a favorite spot for kayakers and paddleboarders. Wilson says boating is another favorite local pastime; marinas line Three Mile Harbor and Hog Creek. Springs Dog Park is an enclosed 20-acre green space with extensive dog-friendly walking paths, while Merill Lake Sanctuary offers hiking trails through marshes where wildlife like ospreys are often spotted. Renowned artists like Elaine de Kooning and famous poets such as Frank O’Hara are buried at the Green River Cemetery.Right off the harbor, The Pollock-Krasner House is a world-famous home museum featuring an original paint-splattered studio floor that visitors can walk on. The Lieber Collection is a Renaissance-themed gallery with large contemporary sculptures.

Events at Ashawagh Hall
Ashawagh Hall, a nonprofit community center, hosts frequent events for the community, including the Fishermen’s Fair, which features an art show, crafts and food, as well as other art exhibits and events throughout the year. The weekend after the Fourth of July, Wilson says, the community has a fireworks celebration. “People go out on their boats and the fireworks are overhead, or people have watch parties at their harborfront or bayfront homes,” Wilson says. Beach and marina clubs like Clearwater Beach Club add even more events to social calendars. “In the summer, they have yoga on the beach and all sorts of events,” Wilson says.

Homes from just over $1 million
Up until a few years ago, Springs remained relatively undiscovered by seasonal homeowners. “Buyers, especially from New York City, started looking at Springs as a place to get into the Hamptons market at a reasonable level,” says Doug Sabo, head of the Doug Sabo team at Nest Seekers International. “Since then, people have started to realize that it's really its own thing; more secluded and peaceful than other areas.” Even with its recent discovery, the majority of people living in Springs are still year-round homeowners. Most houses sit on at least a third of an acre, though some sit on much more than that. Smaller Cape Cods and ranch-style homes start at just over $1 million, depending on size, condition and proximity to the waterfront. Larger homes are often Hamptons single-style houses, colonials or new traditional. With so many custom-built homes and creative residents, though, other styles like contemporary and saltbox houses also make appearances. Many of these houses have undergone significant renovations in recent years. Inland homes that were recently renovated or built can cost between $1.6 million to $3.8 million. Bay and harborfront houses with more acreage and private docks come in at a premium, capping out at around $10 million. This is still significantly less than in neighboring Amagansett or Northwest Harbor, where comparable properties easily surpass $10 million, though Wilson says that home prices are on the rise. Empty lots are still common throughout the neighborhood, with an acre hovering around the $1.6 million mark. The CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Storm surges and flood insurance
According to the Suffolk County government, Springs sits in A, B and C storm surge zones and is prone to flooding. However infrequent now, there's a risk of it becoming a bigger problem in the future. Homeowners, especially those living along the water, are required to have flood insurance.
Local markets and meals on the harbor
Springs Tavern and Grill is a year-round mainstay in the neighborhood, while Bostwick’s on the Harbor is a go-to seafood spot open from May to October. “You can see out to Gardener’s Bay, and it has the best sunsets and excellent food,” Wilson says. “It has a great bar scene and they have a happy hour, so it’s a really nice place.” Located in the iconic Art Building, S&S Corner Shop is the go-to for a caffeine fix or sweet pastry, but it also offers a general store and a shop that sells vinyl, art and books about art. Maidstone Market & Deli, One Stop Market and Damark’s Market are unfussy go-tos for deli sandwiches and other essentials. Springs Farmers Market offers fresh local produce, cheese, beer and live music every Saturday at Ashawagh Hall from the end of April through October. East Hampton Village's Stop & Shop and the IGA in Amagansett have wide selections of groceries.

LIRR to NYC, driving to Montauk
Though Springs is primarily accessed by car and has no major highways running through it, adding to its peacefully rural atmosphere, residents can catch the Long Island Railroad in both Amagansett and East Hampton. A trip to Penn Station in New York City takes three hours. Frequency and the need to transfer along the way changes depending on the season. Montauk is just under 15 miles away — a trip that takes about 25 minutes by car.
