Calverton, NY

Sitting right near the end of the Long Island Expressway on eastern Long Island, Calverton offers a peaceful, open feel that serves as a natural gateway to the North Fork. Home to around 6,000 residents across the towns of Riverhead and Brookhaven, this quiet hamlet is defined by pine barrens, local farm stands, and the scenic Peconic River. Life here moves at a relaxed pace compared to western Long Island, giving residents plenty of privacy, larger lots, and a close connection to the East End landscape.
