What’s this about a family-friendly Hamptons summer share?
Ah, ten years ago, when I and seven friends paid $11,000 (that’s total) for a four-bedroom in Wainscott in the town of East Hampton.
At the time, we did the popular “A and B” share — alternating weekends. The “A” slate was there the 1st and the 15th, the “B”s on the 8th and the 22nd.
Well, you know how hard that would be with kids. So what’s happening now, says our beach realtor Michael Daly at RE/MAX Beach, is that four families will buy a summer (which is sadly, now, around $60,000) and each will take three weeks — the “A” family gets the first three weeks of June, the “B” family gets the last week of June and the first two weeks of July, and so on.
Makes transport with the kids that much easier.
