Bay Shore Housing
An area of rundown housing near the railroad was torn
down and replaced with town houses for those with low
to moderate incomes. Some other of the smaller, older
housing stock in the northern part of the hamlet has
attracted an artist community.
South of Main Street (Montauk Highway) is a large area
of large houses and mansions, many on large properties,
which survived Bay Shore's declining years and promise
to help in the hamlet's renaissance.
