Here are 5 places you can buy in the artsy hamlet of Springs, East Hampton
This three bedroom, two bath is asking $1,050,000 and is located in a private, waterfront community.
If you’re thinking about moving out to the East End of Long Island and you prefer a more laid-back vibe, you might want to check out Springs, East Hampton. The artsy hamlet offers access to the waterfront, nature, art galleries, and restaurants.
Artists like Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, who were married, lived here and you can tour their former home and Pollock’s art studio today. Other well-known artists like Willem and Elaine de Kooning also lived here. Most of them are buried nearby at Green River Cemetery, along with other notable artistic figures like William S. Lieberman, who was a MoMA curator, and the poet Frank O’Hara. The area still attracts artists today like photographer Cindy Sherman, who bought a Springs house in 2011.
Yorgos Tsibiridis, a broker at Douglas Elliman in East Hampton, who previously lived in Springs, says the area is a good option if you want a vibe that’s more relaxed than other parts of the Hamptons. He says you can find a mix of modern and contemporary houses and more traditional shingle-style houses like you’d expect of East Hampton. Most houses sit on about a half-acre and many have a pool or room to build one.
If you want to live here, you might want to think fast: Just like the rest of the Hamptons, there has been a surge in activity during the pandemic. Sales activity almost doubled in the third quarter compared to last year and the average price for a single-family house increased by at least $100,000, Tsibiridis says, adding “I recently had a bidding war at a property on Winward that sold for full-asking price.”
For dining, popular eateries include Harbor Bistro, a seasonal restaurant with a view of the marina, plus year-round spots like The Springs Tavern and Springs Pizza. For nature, you can head to Maidstone Park, Merrill Lake Sanctuary, and Twins Beach. There’s also Springs General Store, a farmer’s market, and art galleries like The Fireplace Project. It’s just under a three-hour drive to Manhattan.
