Owning in Saltaire is the equivalent of a life-time membership in a warm and welcoming community. Many current owners either grew up in Saltaire or rented for years, buying as soon as they found that perfect house. Turn-over in Saltaire is very low and there is consistently a much larger group of potential purchasers than willing sellers.

Saltaire presents a wide range of housing options from small cottages to luxury water-front homes. Purchase prices currently range from the high $600,000s to $1.5 million. If there is a “typical” Saltaire home, it is the “Coffey” house, generally recognized as a cedar-shingled two-storey house with front porch on the main floor, fireplace in the living room, and a sleeping porch (or two) on the second floor. They are lovely and always in demand. Mike Coffey, originally with the Fire Island Development Co., also designed numerous single-level bungalows that usually consist of 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Since that time, dozens of beautifully-designed homes have been built and older homes have been renovated. Many of the newer homes are larger and offer every amenity. Several have been featured in architectural and home-design magazines. A few Saltaire houses have swimming pools, but the ability to build a pool in Saltaire is strictly limited.

The Village of Saltaire has a strict building code and, in some areas, State and Federal rules also come into play. This keeps the town from overcrowding and promotes the feeling of tranquility that is ever-present in the community.

In summation, Saltaire has something for everyone. Please contact us for further information about listed properties or for additional listings. Let us help you find the perfect summer home. Saltaire is where memories begin.
