East Islip at a Glance
East Islip is a South Shore hamlet next to Heckscher State Park, with older homes and waterfront streets near the bay. On the South Shore, East Islip lies along the Great South Bay. There is no village government in East Islip: it is a hamlet of the Town of Islip, so the town's building department handles permits for post-loss repairs. Census figures put East Islip at roughly 3.95 square miles of land, with another 0.47 square miles of water inside its boundary.
Its neighbors include Great River, Islip (hamlet), Islip Terrace and North Great River.
Homes in East Islip
East Islip has a large share of older homes, many built before World War II, with plaster walls, original millwork and wiring and plumbing that have been updated piecemeal. Matching discontinued materials and bringing repairs up to current code are frequent points of disagreement.
Storm, Water and Fire Risk in East Islip
Homes near the Great South Bay face storm surge during nor'easters and tropical storms. The wind-versus-water question decides which policy pays, which deductible applies (many Long Island policies carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible), and how much the homeowner recovers.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your East Islip home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
