If you happen to be in the neighborhood of Fontana Concrete Products in Bayport during business hours, take a moment to cozy up to the famous roadside attraction, The Great Sphinx of Long Island, for a photo opportunity.

Legend has it that this charming hamlet on the south shore of Long Island was the inspiration for the Hardy Boys' Bayport, the hometown in the popular mystery novels. Now, if hearing the word hamlet conjures up thoughts of Shakespearean tragedies, don't fear! In New York, hamlets are the unincorporated, quintessential small communities that compose a larger town. In the case of Bayport, the town is Islip in the county of Suffolk on Long Island, New York. The 8,896 residents at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census within this 3.7-square-mile hamlet bordering the Great South Bay get the best of both worlds: small town charm with a waterfront that also happens to be a quick 55-mile trip on the Long Island Rail Road, aka the LIRR, to one of the busiest, most exciting cities on earth -- New York City.

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Bayport offers more freedom and flexibility to your weekends. Throwing in the laundry before work or a Saturday afternoon bike ride and finishing it up later is inconvenient, if not impossible, without your own set-up.
There are a few things to keep in mind while looking for apartments with a washer and dryer in Bayport. Ask how old the appliances are before you sign. A washer and dryer over 10-years-old may need to be serviced regularly or have an expired warranty. You should also ask the property management who services the washer and dryer. Some leases stipulate that the landlord will pay for repairs to an essential appliance like oven or refrigerator, but require the tenant to service the washer and dryer.
Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Bayport can go quickly, so come prepared with your bank statements, pay stubs, identification, and letters of recommendation to sign your new lease.
