Quote from Little Joey:
the hamptons are what kids in school call
"The home of the rich and full of shit"
hehe
my mommy drove me there once. traffic everywhere and the price for a hamburger was over $10.00 so we ended up eating back where we live which is by a town called riverhead.
Heres some pictures from the hamptons.

Thanks, LJ.
I took your link and then ran some google on real estate in the area myself and came up with this:
24.81-ACRE COMPOUND ON COECLES HARBOR
Shelter Island
$19,900,000
12 bedroom(s)
12 bath(s)
12000 sq.ft
24.80 acre(s)
bayfront-harborfront Pool
Or, this:
GEORGICA PONDFRONT ESTATE
East Hampton
$39,500,000
South of Highway
6 bedroom(s)
7 bath(s)
12000 sq.ft
1.90 acre(s)
pondfront-lakefront Pool
So, it would appear that the further "East" you go, the higher the prices of real estate in the area gets.
When I looked at some of the interior photos of many of the properties for sale in the area, they all seem a little dated. However, some of the homes look new with custom arrangements. At these price levels, you can most likely design whatever you want, but the overall styling does seem far more "traditional" in its architecture than out where I live.
Seeing other photos and video of the Hamptons area, it gives me the sense of Blackhawk in California, without the exceptional water views and some actual water front living. You get large acreage and you are not too close to your next door neighbor with great views. However, the pricing in the Hamptons appears to be significantly higher on average than that found in Blackhawk, California, more on par with Beverly Hills pricing. I think the water makes that a reality in that area. If Blackhawk had the waterfront acreage, then I'm sure you would see $40 million estates there, too.
Thanks for the "tip."
