City Island Real Estate

Who knew that a scenic New England coastal village could crop up slap bang in the middle of the Bronx? That’s the vibe City Island has. The 1.5-mile-long island that juts out into the Long Island Sound, is a hidden beauty that is a perfect summer day trip destination with quaint homes that has its owners happy to plan staycations in the balmy summer months. Like any self respecting waterfront community, City Island is big on boats and crabs, with restaurants doing a roaring summer trade. City Island has produced seven America’s Cup-winning yachts and served as a major producer of sea vessels for the Navy during the First and Second World Wars.
