Buying on the North Fork – Here’s a Fun Way to Do It!

If you’re thinking about buying a second home on the North Fork but have not spent enough time to be comfortable choosing a locale, a short-term rental this summer or fall is a good way to test the waters.  A local base is also an efficient way to conduct your search.

              

A second home on the North Fork offers an easy escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.  We’re two hours from Manhattan and New Jersey, even less time from Long Island suburbs, and parts of Connecticut. 

Our natural, pristine beauty remains protected by many preserved acres. Beautiful beaches, plentiful creeks, lakes and inlets offer boating, kayaking, swimming and fishing.  Quaint, characteristic hamlets offer wine tastings, vineyard tours, fun casual breweries, music, shopping and fine eating establishments for every palate and pocketbook. The summer is filled with concerts, and other events for the whole family.

There’s still plenty of time to rent a home for a few weeks this summer or fall!  And we have beautiful homes available for you.  Just remember, there is a two week* minimum in Southold and 30 days in Riverhead.  For a shorter stay, you may wish to consider a bed and breakfast, inn or hotel.

The inventory of homes for sale is limited and booking a summer rental and being here on the scene may be the best way to get a second home on the North Fork.  Also consider getting your ducks in order for your search – have a bank preapproval in hand, do your homework on what you can afford and, by all means, use a realtor!  We know the neighborhood and we will make your search more efficient and help you find what you are looking for. 

Call us – we’re ready to help you find a summer rental on the North Fork and find that dream house or property to enjoy for years to come! Just call us at 631-765-5333,  email us at broker@beninatiassociates.com  or come visit us at our headquarters at the corner of Horton’s Lane and Main Road in Southold, next to Town Hall.

              

Wishing every Mom out there a very Happy Mother’s Day!
