Greenport presents an enticing blend of coastal living and small-town charm. As far as towns on the North Fork go, Greenport is the only true walking village; one square mile built around its historic deep water marina, still actively used today. With the highest concentration of shops, restaurants, galleries, and boutique hotels, Greenport is a destination for day-trippers and residents alike.
With access to Shelter Island and the Hamptons via ferry, this idyllic seaside locale presents a rare opportunity to embrace the entire East End with ease. With the possibility of a
water taxi directly to Sag Harbor looming, the direct connection to the Hamptons may soon become even more convenient. With regards to infrastructure, the village has its own mayor, village board, planning and zoning boards, and building/zoning codes. It also boasts its own power station and utilities (sewer/water). While this may not seem overly exciting at first glance, keeping resident's utility costs lower than the LI norm is facilitated by this measure.
Throughout the village you'll find a mix of architectural styles including Saltbox/Greenport Vernacular, Victorian, Greek Revival, Colonial Revival, and maritime-inspired designs, reflecting its rich history and maritime heritage.
The average residential sale price in Greenport in 2024 was approximately $987,000.

Don't just take it from us, here's what renowned publications are saying about the area:
With its quiet streets, serious dining and plentiful beaches, the Suffolk County community attracts those looking for a low-key alternative to the Hamptons.
Spring, fall and the starkly beautiful winter offer their own pleasures on the lush vineyard-rich North Fork, but in summer that long spindle of land, and especially Greenport, with a population of about 2,000, bustles. The harbor fills with fishing boats, sails are hoisted, weekenders spill from train, ferries, cars and buses. The lures: local oysters, farm-to-table restaurants, wineries, country roads to stroll or bicycle along and water views all over the place.
Well-kept Victorian clapboards, gray-shingled saltboxes and white churches line Greenport’s streets; plaques mark buildings and sites significant to the compact village’s seaport history — a schoolhouse, jail and blacksmith’s shop among them. The snazzy Hamptons, with their beautiful ocean beaches, are only two short ferry rides south, but the laid-back, flip-flop vibe you’ll find in Greenport is a world away.
Greenport, N.Y., is a North Fork headquarters of sorts for those in pursuit of serious local food and wine, fishing, gardening, beach-going, water activities, bicycling and bird-watching.
