Sag Harbor, NY Automobile Transport Service

Sag Harbor, New York is located in Suffolk County within East Hampton and Southampton. This historic town village was settled in the early 1700s, and as such, the entire business district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This is a very small community of only a couple thousand residents. Visitors to Sag Harbor may want to check out both Main Street and Bay Street. The village's Main Street is lined with commercial buildings dating from the 1800s. Preserving the historic integrity of the village has not come without conflict. In late 2004, a debate arose surrounding the replacing of a small dentist's office off Main Street with an office building. Some residents argued that the new building would decrease property values by obstructing views. Furthermore, there are concerns that new property owners or land developers will encroach upon the area and further alter the historic Main Street.

The short two-hour drive from New York City to Sag Harbor is a fairly pain-free jaunt down I-495. You may run into some weather related driving troubles between December and April when the chance for snowfall is the greatest. On the other hand, winter is a unique time to visit the area given that the sheer number of tourists is reduced. This allows visitors to walk down Main Street, or any of the other streets for that matter, and experience life in Sag Harbor more like a local and less like a foreigner in someone else’s home. If you do find yourself headed off to this village in the summertime, plenty of restaurants and attractions are waiting for you in this old whaling town, which notably was the first official port in the United States.

If you are lucky enough to live in Sag Harbor, chances are you have a fairly short commute to and from work. The average resident has an average commute time of 22 minutes, which is less than the national average of 26 minutes, and 10 minutes less than the New York state average of 32 minutes. Sag Harbor is the perfect distance to New York City – close enough to feel connected to something larger, yet far enough down the highway to be humbled by the serenity of life in a small town.
