By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Educators Realty

Northport Village is a charming, quaint waterfront community located on the north shore of Long Island, New York. It is part of the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County. The village is known for its picturesque setting, historic architecture, and a vibrant downtown area. (See what the New York Times says about the village here.)

Here are some key aspects of Northport Village:

  • Historic Charm: Northport Village has a rich history dating back to the 17th century when it was first settled by Europeans. Many of the buildings in the village reflect its historical roots, and the area exudes a quaint and charming atmosphere.
  • Scenic Waterfront: The village is situated along the shores of Northport Bay, providing residents and visitors with beautiful waterfront views. The harbor area is a focal point, featuring a marina, parks, and docks for recreational boating.
  • Downtown Area: Northport's downtown area is a hub of activity with a variety of shops, boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. Main Street is lined with historic buildings, and the atmosphere is often described as welcoming and friendly.
  • Cultural Attractions: The village is home to several cultural attractions, including the Northport Historical Society and the Engeman Theater. 
  • Parks and Recreation: Residents and visitors can enjoy outdoor activities at the village's parks, including Northport Village Park and Steers Pit. These spaces offer greenery, sports facilities, and a place for community gatherings.
  • Community Events: Northport Village hosts various community events throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of community. Festivals, parades, and other gatherings contribute to the village's lively atmosphere.

In the past, the 1.5 to 2 hour commute from Northport Village to NYC  was too onerous for most people who worked in Manhattan.  However, rising home prices in Nassau County and the post-covid trend of full and part time remote work created a surge in demand for Northport, driving up prices.  

The current median list price for homes in Northport Village is now a whopping $984,349.  In December of 2019, pre-covid, the median sales price hovered around $600,000.  You can see Northport Village real estate market data here.  Moreover, if you would like to pursue recently sold Northport Village homes, go here.

With only 24 homes currently for sale (as of 1/9/24) the current absorption rate for homes in Northport is only 1.65 months.  Compare that to its height in 2018 of 18 months on inventory.  

Finally, the average days on market (which in New York is longer than the national average due to the fact that the inspection takes place before the contract is signed) is only 29 days.  Less than ⅓ of the average days on market pre-covid.

Overall, Northport Village is a desirable place to live for those seeking a small-town atmosphere with a strong sense of community, a historic charm, and access to scenic waterfront views.  Click here to view currently available home for sale in Northport Village.
