Hamptons Bargain: A Trailer Home for the Price-Conscious Buyer

Get a Long Island East End home for $275,000 instead of renting it for $20,000.

A
mobile home in Southampton's southwestern corner is offering an unbeatable deal for those looking to call the East End of Long Island home. For $275,000, buyers can own a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence with easy access to Westhampton beaches, popular among celebrities like Adam Sandler and Maria Bartiromo.

    The 952-square-foot home in Speonk boasts trendy upgrades such as new floors, walls, windows, and a roof. The modest space features painted black cabinets, marbled countertops, subway tiling in the bathroom shower, and more. While Speonk may not have the same cachet as other East End locations, residents can enjoy beachside perks without dealing with traffic congestion.

    The mobile home is just 10 minutes from Westhampton's Rogers Beach and a 20-minute drive to Pike's Beach and Cupsogue Beach. The LIRR stop in Speonk offers easy access to the city, making it an attractive option for those looking for a Hamptons lifestyle without the hefty price tag.

    In comparison, pint-sized homes in nearby Westhampton start around $1 million, while rentals for July through Labor Day can cost upwards of $20,000. The single-wide mobile home is one of two publicly listed for sale in the Speonk Mobile Home Park, with the second option priced at just $185,000 but appearing unrenovated since 1999.

    The trailer park lifestyle is gaining traction throughout the Hamptons as demand for high-quality rentals remains low and summertime demand stays high. The pre-fab lifestyle along the Long Island coast offers a range of price points, from aging single-wides to custom-built surf shacks worth millions in Montauk.
