The Hamptons, NY
New York's premier summer escape - highest ADR in the Northeast
The Hamptons - East Hampton, Southampton, Bridgehampton, Montauk - represent the most expensive STR market in the northeastern United States. NYC proximity (2 hours by car, 90 min by train to Montauk) and decades of aspirational brand equity drive extreme summer demand from a high-net-worth visitor base. Summer weekly rates routinely exceed $15,000 for quality properties. Regulatory environment is evolving.
Across 46 active STR-viable listings analyzed this month, The Hamptons shows a 2.4% median cap rate at a $2.2M median list price, 34% occupancy, and $905/night. That ranks #39 of 57 markets in STRROI's live ranking. At typical prices, cash flow is tight: most listings only pencil out with a large down payment, a below-list purchase, or above-market nightly rates.
