Bayberry Point lies adjacent to the Great South Bay. It is made up of three streets, separated by canals. Bayberry is Islip's most affluent area and home to some of its most expensive real estate. Bayberry Point was originally an experimental living cooperative financed by Horace Havemeyer, a son of sugar-refining magnate Henry O. Havemeyer, and designed by Grovsner Atterbury. It was "an experiment in co-operative living among the very rich." Building began at the end of the 19th century and was completed in 1916, with Havemeyer constructing several Moorish mansions along the banks of the canals, overlooking the bay. Many of these homes still exist today, though most have been extensively renovated.
