Orient Homes and Condos for Sale
Welcome to the idyllic hamlet of Orient, where bucolic landscapes, historic charm, and coastal beauty converge to create a truly enchanting community.
Situated at the easternmost point of Long Island's scenic North Fork, Orient beckons with its stunning vistas of farmland, salt marshes, and pristine beaches. Originally known as "Poquatuck" by the Algonquin tribe, Orient's rich history dates back centuries.
European settlers later christened the area "Oyster Ponds," paying homage to the abundant oyster beds that once thrived in local waters. In the 17th century, Orient was settled by pioneering families whose legacies endure in the surnames of present-day residents.
During the American Revolution, the hamlet served as a strategic base for Benedict Arnold and local Tories, adding layers of historical significance to its storied past. Orient exudes a quaint New England charm, with many homes boasting architectural styles spanning three centuries.
From stately settlement houses in the Federal Style to charming shingled summer cottages and modern suburban dwellings, the community offers a diverse array of housing options. The Orient Historic District preserves the area's heritage, with several vintage structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
While Orient lacks a central commercial hub, essential amenities are easily accessible, including a post office, gas station, country store, and ice cream parlor. For a wider range of shopping and dining options, residents can venture to nearby Greenport, a bustling village just a short drive away.
Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in exploring Orient's natural wonders, from scenic hiking trails to serene beaches perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Families in Orient benefit from the highly regarded Oysterponds Public School District, known for its small class sizes and personalized instruction.
Many residents are employed at the United States Government's Department of Agriculture lab on nearby Plum Island, while others work in farming, commercial fishing, or commute to the metropolitan area. Homes in Orient are highly sought after, reflecting the hamlet's desirable lifestyle and picturesque setting.
The average listing price for a single-family home is $1,315,942, with prices ranging up to $3,295,000 for luxury properties. Lots are also available for those seeking to build their dream home, with an average listing price of $1,416,454.
