"The un-Hamptons"
North Fork is on a 30-mile peninsula opposite South Fork and the Hamptons, surrounded by the Long Island Sound, beaches and farmland. The region was once considered the cousin of the Hamptons, but that’s rapidly changing. “It’s the un-Hamptons,” says Bridgit Elkin, a Realtor with Compass Greater NY LLC who has been selling homes in the area for 6 years. “With people getting priced out in the Hamptons, North Fork has become the alternative region. It used to be in the shadow of the Hamptons. Not anymore.”
Southolds North Fork is surrounded by the Long Island Sound as well as the Southold Bay.
