Shoreham’s roots trace back to resorts and timber trade
Like many coastal communities on Long Island, Shoreham started as a summer resort frequented primarily by wealthy New Yorkers. But it was also colonized year-round by industrialists who capitalized on the area's cordwood-producing forests. In the 19th century, the community cycled through a few names, including Woodville Landing, in honor of the local commodity. At the time, soft woods from Long Island were a crucial component of the construction industry. Before the village was incorporated in 1913, it settled on its current iteration, Shoreham—a combination of "Shore" for its coastal location and "ham" for one of the town's developers, Richard Upham. "There are several reasons why people like Shoreham today," says Norma Dispenza, real estate salesperson with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. "It's surrounded by beaches, parks, farms and cultural attractions. It's well diversified in the ways locals can enjoy spending their free time."
There are many gorgeous mansions on the cliffs and bluffs of Shoreham.

Real estate is competitive in this low-density North Shore village
Residential real estate prices in Shoreham range from a low of $500,000 for a woodsy, ranch-style house to contemporary hi-ranches with manicured lawns starting around $750,000. A waterfront estate can list for $1.5 to $2 million. However, the average price for a home in Shoreham is $650,000, says Dispenza. It's just a matter of waiting for one to go on the market. "One reason Shoreham is so in demand is because it’s less congested compared to many other neighborhoods on this part of the island." Since the village was incorporated, Shoreham's population has grown by a factor of 50. That may sound like a lot, but consider the perspective. In 1920, there were 11 full-time residents in the village. Today, there are about 560. Homebuyers interested in living in Shoreham need to keep their eyes peeled because properties do not hit the market that often, and when they do, they flip quickly.

Nature trails, beaches and science history draw visitors
Shoreham Beach is well maintained and has lifeguards on weekends between July 4th and Labor Day. Rocky Point State Pine Barrens Preserve is located south of the village and has trails that wind through wetlands, forests and orchards. The 100,000-acre park has one of the most diverse populations of plant and animal species in New York State. Visitors flock to the area for hiking, boating, fishing, camping, swimming, biking, jogging, bird-watching and more. Shoreham is also home to The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe. The facility is about as old as the incorporated village. The organization's mission is to educate people about Nikola Tesla's accomplishments and vision for the future. They offer guided walking tours of the historic site, including the grounds surrounding the inventor's famous laboratory, the site where Tesla's transmission tower once stood and a portion of the North Shore Rail Trail.

South side restaurants offer casual Italian comfort food
There are a few restaurants on the village's south side, but it's far from a bustling Main Street vibe. Pellegrino's Pizza is a local favorite. You can order whole pies, half pies and slices. They also serve calzones, heroes, pasta and chicken entrees and desserts, including tiramisu and cannoli.
