Blue Point: Local Context
Blue Point is a South Shore hamlet on the Great South Bay, known historically for its oysters, with older homes near the water. Blue Point is on Long Island's South Shore, with frontage on the Great South Bay. There is no village government in Blue Point: it is a hamlet of the Town of Brookhaven, so the town's building department handles permits for post-loss repairs. It covers roughly 1.8 square miles of land, according to the Census Bureau.
Communities around Blue Point include Bayport, Holbrook, North Patchogue and Patchogue.
Storm, Water and Fire Risk in Blue Point
Being close to the Great South Bay means flood exposure. Low-lying streets near the water may fall in FEMA-mapped flood zones, and a mortgage lender may require flood insurance there. When a storm causes both wind and flood damage, documenting each part separately protects both claims.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Blue Point home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
What Homes in Blue Point Are Like
Blue Point has a large share of older homes, many built before World War II, with plaster walls, original millwork and wiring and plumbing that have been updated piecemeal. Matching discontinued materials and bringing repairs up to current code are frequent points of disagreement.
