Last week, USA Network’s popular series, Royal Pains, aired its season premiere. One of the main characters in the show is actually the setting: The Hamptons. Throughout the episodes you’ll view scenic shots of waterviews, often with yachts enjoying the majesty of Long Island’s waters, pristine beaches, lush greenery, historic lighthouses and, of course, the lavish lifestyle that can only be found in The Hamptons. Well…that’s mostly true. You see, many of those heavenly views were not shot in The Hamptons. Rather, they were filmed in the heart of Netter Real Estate‘s home; Suffolk’s South Shore.
Netterettes buttered up buckets of popcorn, sat in front of the TV to watch Wednesday night’s premier of Royal Pains and went sight-seeing, picking out familiar parts of our own South Shore Seascapes. Did you spot the Bay Shore Marina? There was a great shot of the Fire Island Lighthouse. Did you see it? Perhaps some of The Hamptons mansions you saw weren’t located in The Hamptons..?
The South Shore of Long Island has so much to offer: palatial homes, unique waterviews, incomparable boating, championship fishing and world-famous beaches. The South Shore also offers many things that The Hamptons do not: easy commute by car or by rail to New York City so the beach lifestyle is a convenient, year-round option. Every bit as luxurious, many of the South Shore’s luxury properties are more reasonably priced than their Hamptons counterparts.
Here are a few of the homes Netter Real Estate has available now:
