Westhampton: Local Context
Westhampton is a hamlet north and west of Westhampton Beach, near Francis S. Gabreski Airport. Westhampton sits on the South Shore of Long Island, along Moriches Bay. There is no village government in Westhampton: it is a hamlet of the Town of Southampton, so the town's building department handles permits for post-loss repairs. Census figures put Westhampton at roughly 12.64 square miles of land, with another 2.21 square miles of water inside its boundary.
Neighboring communities include East Quogue, Flanders, Northampton, Quiogue, Quogue, Remsenburg-Speonk, West Hampton Dunes and Westhampton Beach.
What Homes in Westhampton Are Like
Housing in Westhampton is varied: older single-family homes, multi-family houses and newer apartments or condos. When water or fire spreads between units, the question of which policy pays, the unit owner's or the building's, often has to be sorted out first.
What Goes Wrong on Westhampton Claims
Being close to Moriches Bay means flood exposure. Low-lying streets near the water may fall in FEMA-mapped flood zones, and a mortgage lender may require flood insurance there. When a storm causes both wind and flood damage, documenting each part separately protects both claims.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Westhampton home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
