Hot Properties, High Season for Montauk Real Estate
Montauk has always been known as a family town—fishing, entertainment, dining and relaxation put it at the top of the list of places to be. Although Montauk really lights up during its high season, there are certainly plenty of advantages to living here year-round, as well.
Searching the available listings, one can choose from pristine oceanfront or lakefront homes, to harbor backdrops and acres of elegant green landscape. During its early construction, developer Carl Fisher (who also developed Miami Beach) may have had the vision to turn Montauk into the Miami Beach of the North, but this family-oriented hamlet is much, much more. Fisher’s accomplishments included the Montauk Playhouse (known as “The Montauk Tennis Auditorium” during Fisher’s time); a private golf course, which then became Montauk Downs (designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.); Montauk Manor, the Montauk Yacht Club and the creation of Montauk Harbor, where commercial fishing boats call home.
Whether you prefer ocean views or the natural beauty of open land, Montauk has something for everyone and the real estate market is booming.
