Southold   The Township of Southold is on the easternmost portion of Long Islands North Fork consisting of 53.7 square miles of land and 350.8 square miles of water.  The township has waterfront properties along three of its four borders and features many creeks, inlets and harbors for small recreational boats.  This allows residents to enjoy water related recreational activities.  As with most of eastern Long Island, the area population swells in the summer months as some of the area is considered this is a summer resort area.  Many homes are utilized as secondary residences. The Township is a mix of residential and agricultural property types, with commercial districts interdispersed along Route 25 (also known as Main Road) and Sound Avenue.  During the past 10-15 years, agricultural use has, in a large part, changed over from the traditional sod and potato farming to more lucrative wine production.  As such, the north fork has evolved into a nationally recognized wine-producing region, a factor that has boosted tourism and generally had a positive impact on the local real estate. Southold Township contains one Village and approximately 9 Hamlets.  The eastern most Hamlet of Orient Point contains dwellings of historical significance with homes dating back to the 1600’s.
