If you happen to be in the neighborhood of Fontana Concrete Products in Bayport during business hours, take a moment to cozy up to the famous roadside attraction, The Great Sphinx of Long Island, for a photo opportunity. Be sure to capture the inscription: "She who climbs to the Sphinx's head a millionaire will surely wed."
Legend has it that this charming hamlet on the south shore of Long Island was the inspiration for the Hardy Boys' Bayport, the hometown in the popular mystery novels. Now, if hearing the word hamlet conjures up thoughts of Shakespearean tragedies, don't fear! In New York, hamlets are the unincorporated, quintessential small communities that compose a larger town. In the case of Bayport, the town is Islip in the county of Suffolk on Long Island, New York. The 8,896 residents at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census within this 3.7-square-mile hamlet bordering the Great South Bay get the best of both worlds: small town charm with a waterfront that also happens to be a quick 55-mile trip on the Long Island Rail Road, aka the LIRR, to one of the busiest, most exciting cities on earth -- New York City.

Bayport apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.
Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.
It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.
Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
