For many of my clients, real estate isn’t just about bedrooms and bathrooms — it’s about lifestyle. And if you’re a golfer, there’s no better place to live and play than Long Island.
As a local realtor and fellow golfer, I’ve seen firsthand how golf-friendly neighborhoods attract buyers looking for more than just a house. Here’s a look at why Long Island is a golfer’s paradise, and how living near the course could be your best next move.
