Westhampton, NY Multifamily Home for Sale

For many people, Westhampton is their first true glimpse of the Hamptons. There is, however, a caveat. “It’s really a super nice area, but some people don’t call it the Hamptons because it’s not past the canal,” says Ed Gaetjens, a licensed real estate salesperson with Saunder’s & Associates who has sold in the area for about six years. “It’s way, way closer to the city than any of the other Hamptons. But it has a really nice downtown scene, great restaurants, much more low-key vibe than the Hamptons.” Despite its direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, Westhampton is more of a year-round community than the other Hamptons because many residents have their primary residences here and live in them year-round. And according to Vicky Reynolds, an associate broker at Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty with over 10 years of experience, Westhampton has undergone a renaissance in recent years, from the downtown makeover to more practical improvements to the hamlet’s infrastructure. “They tore up the whole village, installed a brand-new sewer system and put all the electric lines underground,” Reynolds says. “It was beautiful.” “Westhampton is famous for its beaches,” says Reynolds.
