According to tax-rate.org, Westchester County (north of NYC) has the highest county property tax rates in country - they rank 5th highest of 3142 counties measured.
All NY counties will take between 1.2%-2.0% on assessed value every year.
But I love the property. Bet they have a beautiful view of their neighbors brick wall. /s
“built out”
A zillionaire could buy 10 of those middle class homes for $15 million, merge the lots, and create a nice one-acre piece of waterfront property.

I believe Atlantic Beach flooded quite nicely during Hurricane Sandy. Also, does not have the quaint feel of the Hamptons.
I drove from NJ to halfway up long island last weekend.
4 hours to go 90 miles. About 3 hours 15 minutes of it spent on the 55 miles between the Verrezano Bridge and my destination. Belt parkway and South State parkway.
No thank you. Nice place to live, would not drive there.

Wish there was an effort for diversity at Fire Island. Always had the reputation for being mostly homosexual beach. Never had any issues during the late 70’s. Now I hear it is more of a cess pool for exibitionist trying to out do the pervert on the next blanket.
I’ve heard unseemly stories about Fire Island. A zillion years ago, it used to be family friendly.
Water quality and beach quality in general improve the farther east you go. Personally I don’t care for any of the beaches west of Fire Island on the LI side or north of Spring Lake on the NJ side.
I'm not really familiar with those areas (west of Fire Island / north of Spring Lake), but you are correct that water quality improves the farther east you go. It's just common sense to avoid beaches/water near NYC. I spent most of my younger beach days on eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island beaches.
Thanks for the info. Not surprised that Westchester County “wins” the prize for the highest county property taxes in the US.
