Long Island: Make Plans for Fall Leaf Peeping
One of the most lovely things about autumn is the color-changing leaves. Just something about those gold, orange, and red tones makes you feel comfortable. The leaves in Long Island typically start changing in early September, and they grow more beautiful as the month goes on. Our REALTORS® know the area well and recommend visiting one of these top spots for fall leaf peeping.

If you're looking at East Islip homes for sale, Bayard Cutting Arboretum is just minutes away. This 600+ acre property is essentially a museum of trees, so naturally, it is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the changing colors of fall.
