The North Fork…a bucolic, 30 mile stretch of waterfront running along the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay redolent with acres of vineyards, farmland marinas and uaint shing illages
O er the past few ears the uietl a uent region has been experiencing a decided uptick in visitors, with over sixty vineyards, breweries, beautiful beaches, superb boating and plenty of upscale farm/sea to table dining to draw tourists from near and far And man who moved to the North Fork during the pandemic have chosen to stay, making the neigh orhood a little well us

Douglas Elliman’s Kristy Naddell does not agree that the North Fork is being reduced to another Hampton – or that North Fork buyers cannot participate in the Hamptons markets Man u ers I am working with can easil a ord the Hamptons ut choose to live on the North Fork because of the lifest le comments Ms Naddell North Fork buyers tend to want a more laid-back atmosphere and less of the ‘glitz and glam’ of the Hamptons Se eral homes I e sold in the last few years were to buyers that sold in the Hamptons and moved to the North Fork by choice not due to price E en m famil had a home in the Hamptons for 20 years which they sold in 2016 and moved to the North Fork because they felt the Hamptons became

Te North Fork and Hamptons markets ha e always had some overlap but aren't always mo ing in unison comments ridget Elkin of ompass Tere is a contingent of North Fork buyers who have previously considered the Hamptons ut found the right t here For some, price was a motivating factor; for most, it was the lifest le oth areas o er a lot of compelling ualities for residents ut while the Hamptons have always had a recognized ‘brand’, the North Fork previously enjoyed a bit of obscurity in the feeder markets that dri e toda s east-end housing market
NFRES: Also prevalent along the highways and byways of the North Fork are a signifcant number of houses under renovation – as well as lots of new construction, especially in Cutchogue, Southold and Greenport. What are your thoughts?
Ms Naddell s response is candid I think that
there are current homeowners who cannot move up in the NoFo marketplace so have decided to renovate/add additions instead. A lot of the homes I have sold recently are to buyers that are doing these renovations for themselves.”
Ms Elkin looks at the uestion from a di erent perspective. “It's true that given low inventory and higher interest rates, mobility within the same market is challenging,” she comments. “If you have a mortgage at 3%, trading into something at hugel in ates the monthl mortgage so most won t consider that Tat eing said reno ation costs are uite high so you're unlikely to pursue it as the lower-cost alternative.”
“Another major catalyst,” continues Ms. Elkin, “was the change in use for second homeowners during the pandemic, much of which continues today. Second homeowners egan spending signi cantl more time here and their needs from their homes changed as a result.
No the are not ips responds Ms Nadell It s di cult to make mone on ips in the current market Te price to u a er
upper is high and with building costs/labor costs eing so e pensi e there isn t enough margin to turn a decent pro t If an thing I see people buying these homes, renovating them for themselves and then trying to rent them when they aren’t living here. People that bought here in the last few years locked in great rates, so it would make sense that they would renovate, rather than sell.”
While there is some spec ip uilding and reno ating going on e plains Ms Elkin most renovations are being pursued by homeowners for their own enjoyment. Many who have purchased in the last few years did so knowing they would be taking on a future renovation or restoration. For others who were residents pre-pandemic, the appreciation in property alues in - usti es added in estments and upgrades to their homes.”
NF S What are the best additions reno ations a ho eowner can ake in ter s of retaining alue?
It’s all about lifestyle, according to Ms. Elkin. “Lifestyle sells, so anything that improves our outdoor li ing e perience has signi cant value for potential buyers. Pools have become an increasingly valuable commodity and are a safe et to add e uit e ond our in estment
to install one. Today, many take a ‘minimalist’ approach and situate the pool in the middle of their yard, with little other than grass surrounding it. While this approach can be beautiful, working with a landscape designer to plan your pool as a ‘destination' on your property is a nice alternative, and we predict we will see more of this in the future.”
Ms Nadell con rms that a pool is the wa to go. “A pool is a great addition if you are considering using the property for rental purposes and for resales. I would say the majority of buyers I work with either want a pool or room for one.”
NF S What s the long iew for the North Fork real estate arket?
“New people are continuously entering the market as visitors and potential homeowners,” comments Ms Elkin Te region s pro le has grown e ponentiall o er the past se eral years, and as entrepreneurs continue to innovate and start businesses, that audience grows. We have also witnessed an uptick in full-time residency, and with that comes increased viability for our business community and service providers.”

North Fork | East Marion. You remember the feeling. You’re on holiday on the coast of some Caribbean isle or on the cliff of a European town overlooking the Mediterranean. Each morning when your head leaves the pillow you know you are on vacation with broad expanses of water dotted with boats and vistas of other shores. Much closer to home, only 100 miles from Manhattan, you can recreate that feeling each and every day when you develop this very private, nearly 12 acre waterfront, meadow-like parcel composed of two 5.7 acres lots spanning 350’ along the North Fork’s Long Island Sound. With all permitting work done on each lot, a savvy buyer would sa e hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of waiting to begin construction of a signifcant house, waterside pool, tennis court and e en a guest house for those who would undoubtedly ock to help you enjoy your grand, new estate. The low, but stable bluff, provides easy access down a gentle pebbled path to the beach from where you’ll enjoy an abundance of aquatic activities while conversation and laughter will resound around the ine itable nighttime beach fres. The property affords ample opportunity to create your own ineyard, apple orchard or a feld of wild owers through which your dri eway will meander right to your front door. Only a few miles from both the ferries of Greenport and Orient Point, this well positioned property provides easy access to everything that has made the North Fork the new sought after destination. At night, go into town for dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants overlooking Shelter Island or head to one of the many vineyards for a wine tasting. But on clear evenings, eat early as you might want to get back for some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere, as the sun seems to disappear somewhere into the Sound leaving the horizon a purplish haze. Best of all, you won’t need a passport, a pat down or a plane ticket. Just get in your car and head East. When you get there, you’ll know...and remember.

It’s summertime on the East End and decks and patios are setting up for outdoor living and entertaining. Local nurseries and garden centers stock lots of great plants for your outdoor space. Tropical plants enhance our outdoor spaces, filling them with color, and some are wonderfully fragrant, too. Watering is important for plants in outdoor living spaces, and many need watering daily or every few days, depending on the size of the pot they’re in. If you have plants in hanging baskets, put your hand under the basket and lift up gently to feel if the pot has weight. If it feels too light, it’s time to water. For plants in large pots or tubs, poke your finger a few inches into the soil; if it feels dry, give the plants a drink. To keep your plants blooming all summer long, clip off faded flowers so the plants keep producing more blossoms.
Potted trees and treelike plants bring height and refreshing greenery to the scene – there are ficus trees and more exotic options like hibiscus with its big flowers in warm shades of orange, red, pink, peach, yellow and white.
Here are some great plants to consider for your outdoor living spaces this year.
Angel’s trumpet (Brugmansia) has woody branching stems and large trumpet flowers in shades of yellow or apricot orange. On a tripod or trellis you can have allamanda, which has yellow blooms. For a spot that’s bright but not in full sun all day, how about a potted palm? Mandevilla is another great plant for a tripod or trellis, with large flowers in white or pink.
Dahlias are a great option for pots and planters – give them sun and clip off old flowers when they fade and the plants will give you loads of flowers in reds, oranges, yellows and pinks all summer long.
Jasmines in hanging baskets bring their intoxicating fragrance to the summer scene, as do lilies and night-blooming moonflower (a relative of the day-blooming morning glory). Passionflowers are another vining plant with beautiful, intricate blossoms that some local nurseries have available in summer.
In a shady spot you can use a potted palm or perhaps a philodendron vine trained on a moss-covered frame or upright slab of bark as a centerpiece. Around that tall central plant place mid-height plants with big leaves,
such as elephant’s ear, or plants we usually see as houseplants, like Chinese evergreen or dieffenbachia.
Finish the pot with vining plants to spill over the edges – sweet potato vine (Ipomoea) with leaves of green or deep purple-black.
Above all, enjoy your outdoor space this summer!

It’s summertime, when a homeowner’s fancy turns to thoughts of gardens and landscape design. If that’s where your mind has been venturing lately, you’re not alone. And if you’re in the mood for something new and different than the same old look your home’s exterior has sported for years, why not consider getting trendy this year? Here are five emerging landscape design trends for 2023 that’ll spruce up your home beautifully.
We know what you’re thinking — but take a deep breath. Yes, you’re absolutely allowed to eschew the glossy emerald
expanse of a perfectly maintained lawn altogether. In fact, doing so will save water, trim maintenance expenses, and reduce or eliminate entirely your reliance on harmful pesticides and herbicides.
Swap out your high-maintenance grass for plants that are friendly to pollinators and much easier to care for, or create a lovely, wild meadow instead. Or build yourself a soothing rock garden, or even turn the entire yard into a food- and herb-producing garden.
You’ll want to check to make sure your plans are permissible under your local ordinances.
Otherwise, the beauty of a lawnless yard is that there really aren’t any strict rules. You can create the look that’s right for your needs and lifestyle while helping the environment at the same time. That’s a trend we can get behind!
Avoid the merry-go-round of slavishly adopting generic gardening trends from national publications and embrace the indigenous bounty of our local region. Choosing indigenous plants helps ensure vibrant growth cycles, healthy plants, and less reliance on chemicals.
From trees such as gray birch, American
beech, flowering dogwood, and Atlantic white cedar, to plants such as purple coneflower, black-eyed Susans, lady fern, and blue flag iris, this area is home to any number of vibrant plants that will thrive in local soil. Consider getting your soil tested and checking with your local cooperative extension office to make sure you’re choosing a good mix of indigenous plants that work with your home’s access to moisture and shade, as well as its soil type and pH.
If you’re eco-conscious but not quite ready to eliminate the lawn completely just yet, try looking for landscaping materials and ideas from unusual sources. Repurposed building materials such as old bricks or reclaimed wood can provide imaginative, aesthetically pleasing borders and walkways for your landscape design. To get started, start digitally with a simple Google search for reclaimed landscaping materials near you. In addition to lumber yards and reclaimed wood suppliers, anything from nurseries to contractors can be a valuable resource. You may prefer to consult with a professional landscaper, however, since they’ll have existing connections and sources that might not be open to individual purchasers.
Call it interiorscaping, or just bringing a bit of nature inside. Whatever you label it, staging your interiors with some healthy green houseplants, potted trees, and even interior courtyards will help you
enjoy the lushness of nature all year long. You can adopt this trend in a number of ways:
• Add hardy plants to your entryway to help greet guests and residents, while providing a transitional space between the outside world and the comforts of home.
• Consider adding a dedicated greenspace to a room with excellent lighting and exposure, such as a sunroom or sitting room with an exterior wall.
• Think vertically by creating plant arrangements with variations in height along a single wall. Use planters, plant stands, trellises, hanging baskets, and other containers to create that height differential.
• Expand your houseplant collection by adding more unusual varieties for more color, texture, and visual interest. Look for plants with larger leaves and unusual shapes.
Consult with a professional gardener or landscaper to make sure you know how to care for your interior plants and to ensure nothing you bring inside presents a health risk to small children or pets.
Maximalist design isn’t just for interiors anymore. You can go riotously bold and joyfully colorful out of doors, too. The general principle is to combine a variety of design elements, from color to volume, from height to texture.
Think “wild abundance” — lots of full, lush plants in raised beds with a variety of colors and leaf shapes to add height and breadth to your landscaping plan. Leave a safe walkspace to get around your yard to keep it looking intentional without verging into overgrown and messy.
One perk of water-adjacent living: the pleasure derived from a meal eaten overlooking the water. But, the truth is, even when you live near the water, it can sometimes e a challenge nding the perfect waterfront restaurant. But the North Fork is full of incredible dining experiences that allow you to enjoy incomparable food just steps from the water. From the newly opened to the seasonally available to the year-round favorites, we re di ing into the est of the unch
Perched right on the water in Greenport, PORT Waterfront Bar & Grill o ers the ultimate in North Fork waterfront dining Te restaurant which faces Greenport Harbor, serves up a glo all in uenced menu with items like crisp calamari with a yuzu dipping sauce, sweet potato tacos with a black bean and corn salsa and a ocado crema and two di erent st les of lobster rolls (pick your poison, depending on whether you prefer yours Connecticut-style, with drawn butter, or Maine-style, with a citrus aioli). Sip your al fresco cocktails by the pitcher Te waterfront spot is known for their Rum Punch in the Face and for their jalapeño-
New Su olk s Legends Restaurant, which is, as the name implies, a legendary waterfront spot for North Forkers to get together, provides sunsets, views for days, and an estimable raw bar. Cooked seafood is also at the center of the menu here: order the oysters Miguel, Peconic Gold beauties topped with spinach, chipotle, Parmigiano-Re iano and te uila the steamed hard clams, which come in a broth of either garlic and wine or marinara the Tuscan seafood stew, a mélange of salmon, tuna, shrimp, clams, and mussels in roth and ser ed with crostini or the seafood vol-au-vent, shrimp, scallops, rock shrimp, tuna, and green beans bathed in a Sherr cream sauce and topped with pu pastry triangles.
Brand-new North Fork addition Little Fish, at Kenney’s Beach, is now open seven days, meaning North Forkers can enjoy a waterfront view any day of the week at lunch or dinnertime. Start with an appetizer of Smokey
the E plant a me e-st le dip made with the roasted e ie smoked paprika garlic oil and popped sorghum. A charred lemon Caesar salad with a house-made dressing, fresh dill, and croissant croutons is a menu standout, as is the sword sh Milanese which comes topped with a roasted seaweed butter, fresh bitter greens, and grilled lemon. And the local monk sh ser ed tikka masala st le alongside a mint raita and rice pilaf, is an unforgettable menu addition.
In the enclave of Port of Egypt, in Southold, A Lure Chowder House & “Oysteria” enjoys one of the best — and most understated — waterfront views on the North Fork. From Tursda through Sunda diners can sit right on the water for dinner (and for lunch, too, on weekends), watching the boats bob in the marina. On Fridays, select appetizers are halfprice, corkage fees are waived on Sundays, and the restaurant holds a daily happy hour beginning at 4:30 p.m. and ending between 6 and 7, depending on the day.
