Bayport, NY 29 Condos for Rent

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 condos for rent in Bayport is almost no different than renting an apartment in a big complex. The real difference is the ownership. Condos are owned by individuals within the same building. However, apartments in a large complex are owned by a single landlord or property management group.

Sometimes the price of condos in Bayport may prove cheaper. The owners are often moving onto a new home or leaving the city and just need someone to cover the costs. Apartment complexes are designed to deal with tenant issues, make repairs, and care for the property. Condo owners will still deal with repairs and upkeep but may need more time to address a problem, especially if they don’t live nearby. However, condo owners have a more vested interest in the property and keeping their tenants happy to reduce turnover.

Choose the best condos for rent in Bayport that meet your wishlist for budget, amenities, and layout. You probably won’t notice the difference between the condos and apartments you tour.
