Cost friendly living near the water
Cut through by the creeks that flow into the Forge River along its eastern border, Mastic offers a lifestyle centered around the water. “If you love nature, if you love the beach, if you love parks and being connected with your community, this is definitely the place,” says Marie Schulz, an associate broker at Integrity Core Realty who has sold homes here for seven years. “There’s nothing like it. You can post on Facebook if you need something; the whole community will chime in and help.” Part of the “tri-hamlet area,” which consists of Mastic, Shirley and Mastic Beach, it’s just 45 minutes from the Hamptons. “It’s the last affordable waterfront community, really,” says Tina Jahrsdoerfer, a licensed real estate salesperson at Signature Premier Properties with 10 years of experience selling here. “Coming here was a big change for me, but I love it. I can ride my bike from my house to the beach — it’s that close. Pretty much anywhere you live in Shirley, Mastic or Mastic Beach, you can be like 5 miles from the beach.”

Boating on the Forge River, nearby beaches and skydiving
The Forge River provides a popular spot to launch boats and kayaks. Forge River Boat Club offers seasonal berth memberships as well as daily and hourly rates and there’s a fishing pier down the road at Second Neck Creek Fishing Dock. “Osprey Park has the best of all worlds. You can fish off the pier, and then there’s a playground for the kids and there’s a little beach where you can hang out,” Schulz says. In nearby Shirley, the 99-acre Patriot’s Preserve contains a large playground, hiking trails and a lake with a fishing pier. The Long Island Skydiving Center is also just over 2 miles from home. “You can look up one day and see parachuters,” Jahrsdoerfer says. Smith Point Beach, which is on Fire Island, is about 6 miles away.
Local libraries provide entertainment indoors. “Our main library, which is technically in Shirley, is getting totally redone,” Jahrsdoerfer says. “It’s going to be gorgeous.” The library’s renovation, which should finish in the fall of 2024, will also see the addition of a cutting-edge computer lab with 3D printers and an indoor stage that will host community performances. The project also added annex libraries in Mastic Beach and Moriches.
Smith Point Marina and Boat Ramp provides easy access to the ocean for Shirley residents.

Single-family homes with yards from about $400,000
Although its streets lack sidewalks, the grid-like, tree-lined nature makes Mastic a comfortably shaded and easily navigable place for a daily walk or run. “Most of the properties around here are like a quarter-acre to half an acre, so we’re not on top of each other, but we’re not too far apart either,” Jahrsdoerfer says. A fixer-upper could drop into the $300,000 range, but two-bedroom or three-bedroom ranch-style houses or Cape Cods start around $400,000. Larger colonials and hi-ranches can climb to $650,0000, especially if they’re renovated and closer to the water. “When I started real estate in 2017, the top listing price was probably like $250,000 to $300,000,” Schulz says. “Now fast forward, and everything has doubled, so it’s definitely an up-and-coming area.” Mastic's CAP Index crime score is 3 out of 10, which is lower than the national score of 4.

Live music at Smith Point Beach
Schulz says the community holds a lot of events, including trunk or treat, an Easter egg hunt and a family day. “The Mastic Fire Department puts together a shindig of its own," she says. "So there’s always some sort of activity going on.” She says Smith Point Beach offers live music every weekend starting in May.

Shopping and dining on Montauk Highway
Most stores and restaurants are found along Montauk Highway, though there’s a handful stretched along Mastic Road. Jimmy’s Diner is a long-running breakfast spot where regulars often place orders that aren’t on the menu. Mama Lisa Restaurant is a go-to for pizza and garlic knots, and Frank & Son Bakery is known for its cannoli and fresh pastries. A fishing supply store, a few auto shops and little convenience stores as well as Family Dollar provide daily essentials. Kohl’s, Marshall’s, UPS and Stop & Shop are all located a short drive away.

Infrastructure improvements in the works
The Mastic-Shirley Forge River Sewer Project could bring growth to Mastic. “That’s going to be huge for the area,” Schulz says. “We’re so close to the water that our water table tends to be a little bit higher. Opening a bigger restaurant or establishment like that has been a hurdle because you can’t really do that until you have sewers.” The project will connect 150 businesses and 1,900 homes to sewer service — and benefits are already being seen long before its projected 2026 completion. “A high-end Greek restaurant is coming to town, Starbucks is coming, and probably more will follow,” Schulz says

Career training at William Floyd High
The William Floyd School District earns an A-minus from Niche. Students can attend Moriches Elementary School, which has a B-plus, and William Floyd Middle School, which has a B, before moving to William Floyd High School, which has a B-plus. Schulz says that the high school is known for its career and technical education program, which is all in-house; without leaving campus, students can gain experience in fields like carpentry, cosmetology and nutrition. A tiny section of Mastic, called Manor Park, is served instead by the Eastport-South Manor Central School District. “That’s another draw to Mastic because, in the towns that go to the Eastport-South Manor school district, the taxes can be really high,” Jahrsdoerfer says. “So you get to have Mastic taxes and still go to that school district.”
Commuting on the Sunrise Highway, Long Island Rail Road
Sunrise Highway runs through Mastic and it takes just a few minutes to hop on William Floyd Parkway, providing access to other parts of the island. From the Long Island Rail Road’s Mastic-Shirley depot, it takes less than two hours to reach Manhattan during rush hour.
