Sagaponack sits on the south shore of Long Island between Bridgehampton and Wainscott, and it's one of the wealthiest communities in the United States. With median home values of $1,933,100 and per capita income of $171,605, this hamlet attracts affluent seasonal residents who maintain estates on agricultural land and near ocean beaches.
Nearly half of all homes sit empty most of the year. Of the 938 housing units, 455 are used seasonally, recreational, or occasionally. That's 48.5% of the housing stock. During summer months, the population swells dramatically as second-homeowners and renters arrive, but the year-round population is just 1,099 people in 440 occupied homes.
The Sagaponack post office maintains 776 PO Boxes for those 440 year-round households. That's an adoption rate of 176%, meaning nearly twice as many boxes as occupied homes. This pattern happens because seasonal homeowners keep boxes year-round, vacation renters need temporary mail access, and many estate properties don't have standardized street addresses. This is a PO Box Only Zone, so there isn't an alternative for mail delivery across the 6.3 square mile area.
Mail arrives via two rural carrier routes serving 49 named streets. Top streets by delivery points include Hedges Lane (11 records), Sagg Main Street (9 records), and Sagg Road (8 records). Street names like Parsonage Lane, Old Farm Road, and Potato Road preserve the hamlet's agricultural heritage, while addresses like Fairfield Pond Lane and Merchants Path mark exclusive estates.
The community is predominantly white (84%), well-educated (83% hold bachelor's degrees or higher), and mature (median age 49.3 years). Just 2% of the population is under 18. With 88% of occupied homes owner-occupied and minimal rental stock, Sagaponack functions more as a collection of private estates than a traditional residential community.
Sagaponack's character blends working farmland with beachfront luxury. The hamlet still has active agricultural operations alongside multimillion-dollar homes. This isn't a place where people come for postal services. It's where wealth seeks privacy, and the PO Box system accommodates seasonal ownership patterns that don't fit standard street delivery.
Street names blend agricultural history (Potato Road, Old Farm Road) with exclusive estate addressing (Fairfield Pond Lane, Merchants Path).
