Moriches Homes for Rent

Moriches, a year-round residential hamlet on Long Island's south shore, offers a quiet, coastal living experience without the bustle of nightclubs and upscale dining. Known for its "countrified" terrain, Moriches is part of the town of Brookhaven and is adjacent to the rapidly developing Center Moriches. The neighborhood features beautiful marinas and is popular for boating and fishing. Crystal Beach, accessible only to members of the Crystal Beach Property Owner’s Association, and the nearby Moriches Sports Complex with its playground and baseball fields, are local highlights. The recently opened Moriches Branch library provides a modern space for community events. Real estate in Moriches includes a mix of attached homes and condos in The Waterways, a gated 55-plus community with amenities like a marina, clubhouse, and sports courts, and more varied housing on the eastern side, including ranch styles and large colonials with river views. While Moriches itself hosts few community events, residents can enjoy the lively festivals and parades in Center Moriches. Local dining options include Moriches Bay Diner, Greek Bites Grill & Café, and La Buena Vida, with fresh produce available at Hank Hulse Farms and LaCorte’s Farm Stand. The William Floyd Union Free School District serves the area, with Moriches Elementary School, William Floyd Middle School, and William Floyd High School all receiving high ratings. Major roads like Montauk Highway and Sunrise Highway provide easy travel, and the Long Island Rail Road’s Mastic-Shirley Station, 2.5 miles away, offers a 90-minute train ride to Manhattan.
