Originally called Forge, Mastic is a quiet community situated on Long Island that’s only 20 miles from the beaches along Fire Island. Dense tree-lined streets house both apartment communities and single-family home rentals. In the northern end of the neighborhood along Mastic Road or Montauk Highway, you’ll find diners, ice cream counters, delis, and more. Mastic’s overall vibe belies its proximity to the beach, but that’s what locals like. This quiet community is perfect for Long Island renters who aren’t keen on the buzz of the Big Apple to the west, or who want a relatively affordable suburban community not far from the beach.
