The Hamptons is a posh beachfront area in Long Island, New York State. The area is primarily occupied during the summer as multimillionaire and billionaire homeowners use their mansions and luxury condominiums as vacation homes. Most houses in the Hamptons are the same style, so much so that the area has its own architectural style.
Historically, the Hamptons were full of fishing villages, then during the Gilded Age, the ultra wealthy began to move in.
