Where Halesite Sits
Halesite sits on the east side of Huntington Harbor, with marinas and older homes near the water. Halesite sits on the North Shore, with frontage on Huntington Harbor. Halesite is an unincorporated hamlet, which the Census Bureau counts as a Census-designated place; building permits and inspections run through the Town of Huntington. The Census Bureau measures Halesite at about 0.89 square miles of land.
Its neighbors include Huntington (hamlet) and Huntington Bay.
Housing and Claims in Halesite
Older houses define much of Halesite: colonials, Tudors and Victorians with details that are expensive to reproduce. A fair estimate has to reflect plaster and lath, hardwood that must be matched, and the ordinance-or-law costs of meeting today's building code.
What Goes Wrong on Halesite Claims
Superstorm Sandy in October 2012 brought surge water into parts of Halesite, and many homes here have been repaired, raised or rebuilt since. Insurers sometimes try to attribute new damage to that earlier storm, so records of post-Sandy repairs are worth keeping.
Being close to Huntington Harbor 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 Halesite home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
