What it’s like
The place. Westhampton is a small community on the South Shore of Long Island, and nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Homes are valued well above what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes in the county are high. Adults here are more likely than most to hold a four-year degree, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many places.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in banks, insurance and property. Across Suffolk County, some of the largest workplaces are Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook University and South Shore University Hospital. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment is close to where it stood a year ago. A typical commute is a moderate drive rather than a long one.
Things to do. Cupsogue Beach County Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is the Peconic River for time by the water. For something indoors, the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center is also a short drive, and the Parrish Art Museum is a longer drive. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while July is warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
