Welcome to Greenport

Greenport:
Classic fishing village charm and a community vibe.

Greenport is a town where everyone knows their neighbors by name. The friendly year-round residents trade local gossip and gardening tips with weekenders, who often slip up from the city in winter as well as summer. Exquisite Victorians with original accents stand next to classic clapboard cottages and turn-of-the century captain’s houses with intricate wrought iron fences. The native population of fishermen and independent business owners has been supplemented in the last decade with an increasing number of artists and professionals, poising Greenport for cultural developments in the coming years.

What to expect:
An intimate, front-porch feel.

The recently revamped village green hosts weekend concerts and family events, from swing dancing to a merfolk parade. The annual Maritime Festival is the village’s largest celebration of heritage and local craft, when thousands of visitors are drawn to Greenport.

Enjoy sea breezes while dining at excellent harbor-front spots, like Claudio’s, an elegant seafood eatery that also boasts the title of oldest family-run restaurant in the nation.

The lifestyle:
Calm, quiet, and quaint.

Locals seek a perfection in life’s simple pleasures: topping an ice cream cone with just the right amount of sprinkles or tying a graceful knot when securing their sailboat to a pier. Expect to spend weekend mornings tossing confetti on the sidelines of a community parade and nights dancing salsa on the village green.

Unexpected appeal:
Refreshingly understated anonymity.

High-profile elbow-rubbing isn’t likely to happen at Greenport’s restaurants and bar brawls won’t spill out onto its streets. On summer evenings, the eateries with outdoor seating are full and shops along the main drag stay open late, but the evening atmosphere remains relaxed.

The market:
Captain’s mansions and Victorian homes with ornamental details intact.

You'll fall in love with:
Seaside charm and friendly neighbors.

Greenport’s harbor supports an active fishing industry, with boats constantly coming and going and a daily catch served fresh in the dockside restaurants. Residents old and new greet one another warmly on the sidewalks and engage in community activities, fostering a welcoming environment.
