Montauk Shores Condominium.

  • Montauk Shores Condominium is a luxury trailer park that's home to the mega rich, and it's located right in New York City's ultimate resort area: the Hamptons.
  • The trailer park is in Montauk - a ritzy town located on the eastern end of Long Island with a median listing price of $1,495,000.
  • The 20-acre, gated community is filled with amenities that include a clubhouse, a playground, and a massive outdoor pool.
  • It's not unusual for trailers here to sell for over $1 million.
  • In late November, I took a four-hour train ride out from Manhattan and got an exclusive tour of the trailer park.

On a sunny November afternoon in Montauk, New York, I toured a luxury trailer park that's home to the mega rich.

Located at the end of a secluded paved road, Montauk Shores Condominium is a 20-acre trailer park with features that include security, outdoor amenities, and "million-dollar" ocean views.

Though the park started out as an oasis of sorts for blue-collar workers, today, it's not uncommon to see hedge-fund managers, CEOs, and investment bankers alike buying and selling trailers worth over a million dollars.

In fact, as Jennifer Gould Keil reported for the New York Post in 2017, big players who have called the park home include Vitaminwater co-founder Darius Bikoff, hedge-fund manager Dan Loeb, and film producer Karen Lauder.

I met up with real-estate agent Peter Moore from The Corcoran Group, who has been selling units in the park for around 15 years, to see what the hype is all about.

Keep reading for a walk-through of the wealthiest trailer park I've ever seen.
