[quote=Anonymous]The person above doesn’t know what they’re talking about. For one thing, the Hampton are on the south shore, and about 50 miles East of the towns you mention.

I grew up a few towns east of where you’re talking about, and my brother lives in Northport now. Very wealthy. Quote my niece, when I said she was lucky to have a pool: “everyone has a pool.”

Public schools are excellent to the point where there aren’t really private schools outside of very religious ones, that tend to be worse than public. Vanishingly small black population. The Latino population has grown quite a bit, and overall household incomes on average have dropped a bit from when I was a kid, but not dramatically.

Very expensive. Watch out for property taxes - they’re an order of magnitude higher than you see here.

It’s definitely been trending much more conservative over the years, politically, much to my family’s chagrin.

I think my brother would say it’s a great place to raise kids. There are a lot of families. I find it a bit like Agrestic in the TV show Weeds - status conscious, shallow, pricey. But to each his own. [/quote]
