Gatsby by day, million-dollar in home build savings by night: Look No Further
Scott Fitzgerald, in one of his most memorable and beautiful lines in The Great Gatsby, described Long Island as “the old island here that flowered once for the Dutch sailor’s eyes—a fresh green breast of the new world.” Located on the South Fork of Long Island, the Hamptons offer soul-stirring sunsets and lucrative fishing opportunities. From striped bass to bluefish, cobia, and flounder, find it all in the Hamptons. This ‘city’ is actually a string of seaside towns and it’s overflowing with opportunity! The Hamptons have long been The Spot for celebrities and affluent New York City residents to retreat to. Some of the richest and most interesting celebrities, entertainers in the world have homes here. Not to mention the leaders of fortune 500s like Goldman Sachs and the wolves of Wall Street. More lavish homes mean money to spend on luxurious home builds and money to spend to save on these home builds. Que your inner Bon Jovi, work with Authenticus Inc., and head to the Hamptons and Never Say Goodbye.

What is the Cost of Living Like in The Hamptons?
While the upscale bars, restaurants, hotels, stores, and luxurious homes provide endless money making opportunities those in the build industry, there’s no beating around the bush that the cost of living in the Hamptons is on the higher end. But there are ways to live affordably and still reap the rewards of working with Authetnicus in the area. Keep in mind that the Hamptons are a group of towns on the South Fork of Long Island rather than a single city. So, there are plenty of affordable options if you choose the right neighborhood! The price range of homes is surprisingly broad: while more expensive neighborhoods like Napeague or Montauk average over $1,000 per square foot, others like Riverbed and Hampton Bays have homes for as little as $120 per square foot. If you don’t have a large family, consider renting an apartment for the luxury of short walks into town square without breaking the budget. According to Hamptons real estate broker, Judy Desiderio, recently there have been more options for long-term rentals than might have been previously available due to the pandemic. If you don’t mind a commute, there are many nearby towns on Long Island that are budget friendly such as Great Neck, Patchogue, Riverhead, and Huntington. Riverhead is 20 miles from the Hamptons and has a comparatively comfortable median home cost of $376,800 and an overall cost of living 10.8% lower than Hampton Bays which is one of the least expensive towns in the Hamptons. Living in the Hamptons may be costly, but the job opportunities that are offered for us in the home authenticating business are huge. That, paired with the commuter friendly near towns, make it more than possible!
