This is one of the cheapest homes in the Hamptons
A trailer on the southwestern corner of Southampton offers an unbeatable deal out east. The two-bedroom, 1.5-bath mobile home offers easy access to the same Westhampton beaches frequented by Adam Sandler and Maria Bartiromo for less than $300,000.
And that asking price makes it one of the cheapest residences now for sale in the notoriously pricey region, according to the OutEast listings portal.

Signs of trendy upgrades can be found throughout the modest space, from subway tiling in the bathroom shower to marbled countertops in the kitchen.
While addresses in Speonk lack the cachet of more easterly plots, residents there can enjoy beachside perks without having to brave Eastbound bottleneck traffic.
The mobile home is little more than a 10 minutes from Westhampton's popular Rogers Beach, and a 20-minute drive to Pike's Beach and Cupsogue Beach. Vacationers can rely upon a less than two hour drive from the city and easy access to Speonk's LIRR stop.

The hamlet of Speonk, once the domain of cattle farmers, offers buyers a west-of-canal Hamptons lifestyle for a fraction of the cost, compared to Quogue and Hampton Bays — and especially the traditionally tony towns east of the canal, such as Bridgehampton.
Similarly pint-sized homes in nearby Westhampton start around the $1 million mark on Out East, and rentals for July through Labor Day go for $20,000 or more.

The single-wide is one of two mobile homes publicly listed for sale in the Speonk Mobile Home Park. The second, priced at just $185,000, appears unrenovated since 1999.
The trailer park life is gaining traction throughout the Hamptons, as the supply of high-quality, modern rentals remains low and summertime demand stays high. The pre-fab lifestyle along the Long Island coast offers a dramatic array of price points, from aging single-wides selling for $185,000 in Westhampton Beach to custom-built surf shacks worth millions in Montauk.

A lazy guide to late-summer fun in NWA
If planning a trip wasn't in the cards or the budget this year, it's not too late to enjoy a long weekend or staycation right here at home before summer ends and kids go back to school. 👙 Have a pool day: Public pools and water parks are open through Labor Day. It's an easy way to make the kids' day with slides and splash pads, a book by the pool, or some exercise lap swimming. Wilson Park in Fayetteville still has one more " dive-in" movie night. 🌽 Peruse farmers markets: NWA cities large and small have robust farmers markets on weekend mornings. Check out the one nearest to you and find some unique, locally made goods in addition to produce. 🍹 Get together with friends or have a nice summer date night with cocktails or bites at one of NWA's best patios. 🛶 Make the most of Beaver Lake and Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area. Arkansas state parks host lots of nature-center events throughout the summer, like kayaking tours, hikes and fishing. And you can always rent a boat, kayak or paddleboard at Beaver Lake. 🧒 Entertain the kids: NWA is full of free or inexpensive ways to keep children engaged when they're out of school. 🥾 Spend a day hiking at Devil's Den State Park, or even camp overnight. 🎸 Don't sleep on all the free live music and offerings, like First Friday in Bentonville, Railyard Live in downtown Rogers, the Gulley Park series in Fayetteville, or Live! at Turnbow in downtown Springdale. It's a great way to get out and hear local artists and stumble on vendors or a new food truck.

This is one of the cheapest homes in the Hamptons

Maggie Mulqueen: What does summer mean for my family and me? The beach — and books.
My love for the beach and for reading go as far back as I can remember, and luckily for me, these two loves exist in harmony. Reading at the beach is one of my deepest pleasures. A beach bag without a book would feel as sacrilegious as one without sunblock. To this day, the beach is one place where you still see a majority of people reading books since the glare of the sun makes electronics difficult. Growing up on Long Island, I went to the beach year-round along with weekly visits to my local library. As a young girl, I participated in the summer read-a-thons hosted by the library to encourage literacy. The reward for my efforts was a gift certificate for an ice cream cone at the local Baskin-Robbins. Summers during high school, I worked at the library in the daytime and waitressed at the beach at night. The rhythm of the ocean and the words on a page transported me across time and space and expanded my horizons. When I was looking at colleges, my need for water and a library remained paramount. I landed at Northwestern University with a view of Lake Michigan from the library stacks. On warm, sunny days, I took my books to the beach to study. When I met my husband, I wondered if he could blend harmoniously with my earlier loves and find pleasure in a day of sand, sun and reading. Happily, growing up on the north shore of Boston and spending summers on Cape Cod, he, too, shared a long history of going to the beach, book in hand. Once we had children, the weight of the beach bag increased. More towels, more sunblock and more books joined the pails and shovels as we set off on our beach vacations. Eventually, pails and shovels were replaced by footballs and Frisbees, but the beach bag was still the repository for books, one for each of us. Our three sons are now grown and live in various locations. Time together is hard to come by, and a family summer vacation is no longer guaranteed. With this natural evolution, I lamented the loss of shared experiences and struggled to think of how we could stay connected. Upon reflection, I recognized that the love for beach and books ran deep among us all, and so 'The Family Summer Read' was born. The rules are simple. Starting with the oldest member of our family — me — once a year, a book is selected and copies sent to each person by Memorial Day with the expectation it will be read by Labor Day, the traditional bookends of summer. We set a day and time to meet on Zoom in September to discuss that year's selection. Throughout the summer, texts are sent with photos of people reading and updates on how far into the book they are. Competition runs strong in our family, so there is an underlying urge to be the first one to finish. My initial selection was 'The Warmth of Other Suns' by Isabel Wilkerson, a hefty choice for a beach bag. The next year, my husband chose 'Walking with the Wind,' a memoir by John Lewis with Mike D'Orso, another sizable selection. By the time it was our youngest son's chance to pick, he rebelled and opted for a paperback fantasy, 'The Lies of Locke Lamora' by Scott Lynch. 'This,' he declared, 'is a summer read.' I admit it made for much easier trips to the beach than the previous tomes we had chosen, and it was a delight to be taken out of the darkness of our world for a brief time. We are now at year nine of 'The Family Summer Read,' and we have welcomed a new member. Over time, we hope to be joined by others who are willing to pay the price of admission to our family, a love for books and the beach. Volunteering to carry the beach bag doesn't hurt either.
