Located on a peninsula and only one square mile in size, Eatons Neck has no stores or main street, it shares a ZIP code with Northport and Asharoken, and access to the community requires driving on a long stretch of Asharoken Avenue with a strictly enforced 30 mph speed limit. But these characteristics factor into the appeal of this North Shore community.
"It has a feeling of seclusion and is for the person who doesn't mind a commute," says Jacquie Lewisy of Signature Premier Properties.
The styles of houses in the area vary and include ranches, bungalows, Colonials, contemporaries and postmoderns, says Kym Griebel of Coach Realtors.
With about 575 houses in the community and only seven of them now on the market, real estate movement is limited. Lewisy says residents tend to hold onto their homes and pass them onto their children.
