Northport

Main Street meets the harbor.

Northport’s Main Street slopes toward a deep-water harbor, lined with shops, restaurants, and nineteenth-century buildings. Waterfront parks and the village dock make the harbor an integral part of the center rather than a separate attraction.

Historic houses near the village core give way to other residential styles in the surrounding streets. The area offers several different settings, from closely drawn village blocks to more open residential roads. Architecture and the relationship to the harbor remain its defining threads.
