Mount Sinai Real Estate Overview

Mount Sinai is a hamlet located in the Town of Brookhaven and in Suffolk County, New York.

While several large developments have popped in Mount Sinai in recent years, the community has retained much of its bucolic feel with tracts of wooded landscapes remaining intact.

Tranquil neighborhoods offer Colonials, ranch styles and contemporaries, as well as newer Victorians and postmodern homes that often sit on sprawling properties. Prices typically range from $250,000 to $800,000, although waterfront properties can command as much as $2.5 million.

Some of the latest projects include The Hamlet at Willow Creek, a gated golf club community of 177 single-family homes, being built by the Holiday Organization. Prices of the homes started at about $525,000, with some now going for more than $800,000. Another notable project is Central Park on the "Wedge," scheduled to open in the summer. The park, which borders Route 25A, Mount Sinai-Coram Road and County Road 83, includes a community center, playing fields, botanical garden, trails and an amphitheater.

The first known name given to the area was Nonowatuck, an Indian word meaning "the stream that dries up." As the result of a 1664 land purchase, the area became known as Old Man's. Most historians trace that name to English army Capt. John Scott, a scoundrel who, in the mid-18th century, apparently duped a retired officer, Maj. Daniel Gotherson, into giving him a large amount of money to buy land near Long Island Sound. Scott fled, never making the purchase, and residents called the property Gotherson thought he owned "the old man's."

When the first post office arrived in 1840, the name Old Man's was deemed inappropriate. According to legend, the wife of postmaster Charles Phillips opened her Bible at random and laid her knitting needle on the name Mount Sinai.

Today, the historic district along North Country and Shore roads includes homes that are more than 200 years old, and Mount Sinai Congregational Church, built in 1807.

At the harbor and Cedar Beach, amenities include a fishing pier, marinas, nature trail and the Mount Sinai Yacht Club. The harbor is also used by commercial clammers and lobstermen.

It is about 60 miles to Mount Sinai from midtown Manhattan.
