The former agricultural haven of Mount Sinai has been welcoming suburban development for the past five decades, although charming remnants of vegetable farming can still be found. With its natural harbor, this area harmonizes oceanfront recreation with lush countryside. Many commuters to Manhattan still find a pleasant and serene home in Mount Sinai, but the digital age has introduced an influx of home-based entrepreneurs. This area also supports a number of marine businesses including harbor tours. In recent years, a gated development of well-appointed homes, schools, and recreational facilities adds contemporary options to the mix of lovely older homes scattered along the curving roads. One of the more active groups in the community is the Mount Sinai Sailing Association, with most members mooring boats in the harbor. Great schools, fine dining, convenient services, and waterfront recreation are just a few of the highlights that make Mt. Sinai a popular choice for families.
