Long
Island's
Historic
Seaport
, Port
Jefferson
, is a historic ship-building village nestled at the
far end of the harbor, past the big homes that dot
the high-banked eastern bluff looking down over an
orderly yet varied fleet lying at their moorings.
Port Jefferson is a visitor's dream, and one of the
most picturesque of waterside villages to be found
on
Long Island
. The Port Jefferson real estate market
reflects the areas historic, colonial roots.

Port
Jefferson is located approximately 56 miles east of
New York City
, in the northern part of central
Suffolk
County
. A stroll down tree-lined streets, where many shops
and restaurants occupy historic buildings, clearly
affirms the village's commitment to maintaining its
"small town" appeal.

From
its beginnings as a waterside home for the Setauket Indians,
to its present-day position as a popular day-trip destination,
Port
Jefferson
has grown and prospered. Throughout this 300-year evolution,
the strength of the village has been, and continues to be, the
sociable people who live in its beautiful homes and who work
in its shops, restaurants, and offices. This "human
asset" combined with the village's unique location, has
inspired much of its industry, from shipbuilding to tourism.
Surrounded
by some of the most beautiful and prestigious homes on Long
Island, and serviced by three major hospitals and a state
university, Port Jefferson has come a long way. Residents
treasure its past and plan carefully for its future.
