What it’s like
The place. Bridgehampton is a small community on the East End of Long Island. Household incomes run higher than across Suffolk County, and homes here cost far more than most places, with rents to match. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and fewer households fall below the poverty line than you might expect given the cost of living. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and snow comes most years; summers are warm and the year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops and the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in town are Marders, a landscape care company, K&D Wright & Co Construction, and the Bridgehampton Union Free School District. Unemployment across Suffolk County is about where it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Dia Bridgehampton is a museum in or beside town, and the Parrish Art Museum is a short drive away. Also a short drive off is Conscience Point National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area for walking and watching wildlife. For a longer outing, Orient Beach State Park is a protected shoreline area a longer drive away.
