Little Charmer
It’s no wonder people love living in Bellport, with its beaches and stunning views of Bellport Bay . Take a ferry across to Fire Island , play a round of 18 holes on the manicured waterfront golf course, enjoy the local country club, or meet down-to-earth local residents (numbering a grand total of 2,900). Combine all this with the proximity to Manhattan and it should come as no surprise that some famous names grace the town’s register.
It only takes a short stroll down Main Street to fall captive to the town’s charm. One look at the sign for “Village Silversmith” and you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. You’ll find old-fashioned streetlamps, the “town clock,” quaint antiques stores, cafes, and adorable restaurants, and oh, let’s not forget a must for every small town: a fun variety store. Combine this with the more modern goings-on, such as art galleries, ultra-cool eateries on the outskirts of town (our favorite: Painters), and quality musical theatre at the Gateway Playhouse, and you’ve got a winning combo.
Bellport’s history is as charming as the town. The land where Bellport Village now sits was purchased from the Unkechogue Indians in 1664, while the Village was established in the early 1800s. An interesting aside: on July 4, 1980 , the National Register of Historic Places added over 80 houses from the Village!
Quiet, quaint, and steady, Bellport Village is especially appealing to Manhattanites wanting to be near the water but wanting to keep travel time at a minimum. But whether you’re from the city or simply looking for a great small town, Bellport Village is one great place to consider calling your home.
