Centerport Homes for Rent

Centerport, located in Long Island, offers a unique blend of coastal and inland living with homes ranging from historic colonials on the peninsula to 1950s bungalows on the west side of Centerport Harbor. The neighborhood is known for its hilly terrain, often referred to as "Little Switzerland," and many homes provide sweeping views of the sound. Residents enjoy access to private beaches and mooring spots through beach communities like the Huntington Beach Community Association. Centerport Beach is a popular spot for swimming, kayaking, and sunset watching, while the Centerport Yacht Club offers sailing and swimming activities. The Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium, a 43-acre estate, provides cultural and educational attractions, including a planetarium and various events. Local dining options include Hometown Bake Shop, Nicky’s, and the Mill Pond House, which offers waterfront dining. Centerport also has its own brewery, U.S. Brews, adding to the community's charm. Despite the lack of grocery stores, residents can drive to nearby Northport or Huntington for shopping. The Harborfields Central School District is highly rated, with schools like Washington Drive Primary School, Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School, Oldfield Middle School, and Harborfields High School. Safety is a notable feature, with crime rates lower than the national average. Centerport’s proximity to state Route 25A and the Long Island Rail Road’s Huntington Station, just over 5 miles away, provides convenient access to Manhattan. However, the area is prone to high winds and moderate flooding during hurricane season, making storm insurance a practical consideration for homeowners.
