9 White Oak Lane Westhampton, NY 11977

Owing to the charming vagaries of Hamptons nomenclature, Westhampton is paradoxically located within the town of Southampton. Thankfully, the physical East End space Westhampton occupies completely jives with its moniker. Many regard Westhampton as the western start of the Hamptons, making the hamlet’s name quite literal. Communities left of the Shinnecock Canal tend to skew more residential and reserved than those on the other side, and Westhampton is no exception. Eclectic house styles blanket the area — ranches, estates, post-moderns, and more — offering different kinds of homes to fit different types of homeowners’ needs. For all the beauty of the greater area with none of the perhaps superfluous flair, Westhampton is ideal. Even if you road trip down Sunrise Highway, ride the Long Island Rail Road to the end, or jet-set from Francis S. Gabreski Airport — all easily accessible — Westhampton will always be waiting with the comforting atmosphere of home.
