Westhampton catches up

Westhampton might not have the cache of its eastern neighbors, but it does have a shorter distance to Manhattan, available waterfront property at reasonable prices and a revitalized downtown Westhampton Beach. Things have changed over the past decade, and the area is no longer seen as the South Fork’s backwater. West of the Shinnecock Canal, the median sales price for a home was $630,000 in the first quarter, compared to $965,000 for all of the South Fork, according to Brown Harris Stevens. New Westhampton residents include actor Michael J. Fox, who paid $6.3 million for a new 7,000-square-foot home in Quogue, and CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
