Long
Island's
Historic
Seaport, Port
Jefferson,
is a historic ship-building village
nestled at the far end of the harbor,
past the big homes that dot the
high-banked eastern bluff looking down
over an orderly yet varied fleet lying
at their moorings. Port Jefferson is a
visitor's dream, and one of the most
picturesque of waterside villages to be
found on
Long Island. The
Port Jefferson real estate market
reflects the areas historic, colonial
roots.

Port
Jefferson is located approximately 56 miles east
of
New York City
, in the northern part of central
Suffolk
County. A stroll down tree-lined streets, where many
shops and restaurants occupy historic buildings,
clearly affirms the village's commitment to
maintaining its "small town" appeal.

From
its beginnings as a waterside home for the
Setauket Indians, to its present-day position as
a popular day-trip destination, Port
Jefferson
has grown and prospered. Throughout this
300-year evolution, the strength of the village
has been, and continues to be, the sociable
people who live in its beautiful homes and who
work in its shops, restaurants, and offices.
This "human asset" combined with the
village's unique location, has inspired much of
its industry, from shipbuilding to tourism.
Surrounded
by some of the most beautiful and prestigious
homes on Long Island, and serviced by three
major hospitals and a state university, Port
Jefferson has come a long way. Residents
treasure its past and plan carefully for its
future.
