Long Island: History, Affluence & Coastal Living
Long Island has evolved from its roots as home to Indigenous tribes and later European settlements into one of the nation’s most desirable residential areas. The completion of the Long Island Rail Road in 1844 and the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 transformed the island from agricultural land into a sought-after suburban destination.
Today, Long Island extends 118 miles from New York Harbor to Montauk Point, encompassing both urban neighborhoods (Brooklyn and Queens are technically part of Long Island) and the suburban communities of Nassau and Suffolk counties. With nearly 3 million residents, Long Island combines coastal charm with proximity to Manhattan.
Long Island Demographics & Lifestyle
Long Island is home to some of New York’s most affluent communities, with a median household income well above $100,000. The island attracts families, professionals, and retirees who value space, strong schools, and access to beaches.
- Population: Nearly 3 million (including Brooklyn and Queens)
- Median household income: $100,000+ (Nassau and Suffolk counties)
- Housing: Predominantly single-family homes
- Cost of living: High, reflecting proximity to Manhattan and coastal location
The island offers a slower pace than the city, with close-knit communities, historic downtowns, and a lifestyle centered on quality and refinement.
