About Setauket Real
Estate
|
Setauket
real estate owes its continued popularity to a
variety of factors and influences.
Primary, of course, is its location.
The
village of Setauket is located on the North Shore of
Long Island in central Suffolk County.
In Setauket’s Old Field you will find
wealthy waterfront estates, many that are historic.
Setauket has a New England style village
green with a mill pond, park and post office.
South Setauket is more varied with quaint
colonial style houses mixing with light industrial
areas and Levitt-built houses

Setauket,
once a shipbuilding center in the mid 19th
century is now a hamlet where natural beauty and
colonial roots blend the past and the present.
Setauket's residential real estate market reflects
this charm and history. During the American
Revolution, Setauket was an area of divided
loyalties and home of George Washington’s Patriot
spy ring. One of the most interesting historical
structures is the Caroline Church of Brookhaven
located across the Village Green.

Throughout
the 19th Century and up to World War II, Setauket and East
Setauket showed strong interest in the raising, trading and
racing of horses. And early in this century, Setauket was a
tourist center, though there was aversion to some related
commerce and industry and the trend faded. Since World War II,
the hamlet, with its colonial village green and historic homes
and buildings, has remained almost entirely residential,
making Setauket real estate a popular choice on Long Island's
North Shore.
