The North Fork is the quieter of Long Island's two forks, and it stays that way on purpose. Thirty miles of farmland, vineyards and working harbour run from Riverhead out to Orient Point, where the Cross Sound Ferry leaves for New London. Between the two you get eleven hamlets, four school districts, and a shoreline that faces Long Island Sound on one side and Peconic Bay on the other.

This site lists everything currently on the market across all thirteen North Fork MLS areas — houses, land, waterfront, commercial space and rentals — pulled directly from OneKey MLS and refreshed daily. Start with a town below, or browse by the kind of property you are after.

What the North Fork actually is

Thirty miles of farmland and shoreline running east from Riverhead, with Long Island Sound to the north and Peconic Bay to the south. It was potato country before it was wine country, and it is still a working landscape — farm stands, oyster beds, boatyards and around forty vineyards sharing the same two roads.

Greenport is the one real village: a deep-water harbour, a rail terminus, the Shelter Island ferry, and enough restaurants to keep it open through the winter. At the far end, Orient Point puts you on the Cross Sound Ferry to New London, Connecticut — eighty minutes with the car, and the reason New England is easier to reach from here than from anywhere else on Long Island.

Before you buy out here

  • Development rights. Much of the farmland has had its development rights sold to the town or the Peconic Land Trust. It stays farmland permanently. Confirm before you offer.
  • Water and septic. Suffolk County Health Department approval for the sanitary system decides whether a lot is buildable more often than zoning does.
  • Beach rights vary. Deeded access, association membership and an informal understanding are three different things. Your attorney should establish which one is in the title.
  • Two school systems. Greenport village runs its own district; the rest of the fork splits between Southold, Mattituck-Cutchogue, Oysterponds and Riverhead.
