Welcome to Southampton

A lovely beach town with endless opportunities for fun.

With exquisite white sand beaches and quaint boutiques, Southampton, New York, is a highly desirable place to live in the Hamptons. Its elaborately luxurious homes, upscale ambiance, and lovely public spaces only add to its charm. 
 
Southampton is widely known for its picturesque downtown Main Street, which has quickly become a hotspot in the Hamptons. Its luxe boutiques, sidewalk cafes, historic homes, and walkable streets offer a delightful array of exciting retail, dining, and entertainment options. Despite its lively downtown, Southampton remains a relaxing and peaceful community where residents can enjoy quiet living with near-immediate access to stunning beaches. 
 
Homes in Southampton vary between architectural styles and features, but one thing can be certain — they are all lovely. Homebuyers can enjoy a fine selection of Colonial Revival properties characterized by pedimented doorways and porches, farmhouse-style single-family homes with open interior spaces, wooden features, and large backyards, and beyond. Many Southampton homes also incorporate modern design ideas.

Local Lifestyle

Locals of Southampton include both permanent residents and annual summer guests. Whether enjoying a breezing and relaxing summer or spending time in the community year-round, Southampton residents have their pick of exciting and fun activities. Locals often head to the beach or golf course for a day of relaxation and afterward visit a fine dining restaurant that evening to taste renowned cuisine and wine pairings. 
 
Southampton is located at the beginning of Long Island’s East End. Its ideal location provides access to much of the Hamptons, making it easy for residents to attend dinner parties, philanthropic events, or social gatherings.

Those with an appetite after shopping head to The Plaza Café, an upscale seafood restaurant noted for its dim-lit atmosphere, innovative dishes, and unique wine options. During summer, guests can dine inside or on the outdoor patio. Le Chef is a cozy yet elegant French bistro serving delicious cuisine made from fresh ingredients. There is simply no comparison to the shopping and dining opportunities in Southampton. 
 

Things to Do

Locals love visiting Southampton’s museums. The Southampton History Museum has 14 historical buildings and changing exhibits focusing on Southampton’s rich past. The museum also features community programs and educational opportunities for children. Attend a cultural event, admire beautiful art collections, or scour the sprawling exhibits inside the Parrish Art Museum. Many of its displays are inspired by Southampton’s natural beauty. 
 
Agawam Park is a stunning outdoor park known for its breathtaking World War II monument, which features tall columns facing the sea. The park’s water fountains, playground, and picnic benches make it an ideal place for community members to enjoy the outdoors.
