Vanderbilt's River, The Empty College, And The Capes That Took Water
Oakdale is the Connetquot River and everything that grew up around it. Vanderbilt built Idle Hour on the east bank, the estate became Dowling College, and the college closed in 2016 and left the campus at the end of Idle Hour Boulevard empty. Around it, on Vanderbilt Boulevard, Shore Drive, and the Idle Hour canals, are the river and bay houses that took some of the worst water in the Town of Islip in October 2012. North of that, between Montauk Highway and Sunrise Highway, it’s 1950s and 60s capes and ranches off Oakdale-Bohemia Road, with the Montauk branch station on Montauk Highway and Connetquot schools. The Town of Islip governs the permits, and almost none of it is sewered.
So the Oakdale seller is one of two people. The Idle Hour owner who rebuilt after Sandy, never got the Town’s final, and can’t get a buyer past the flood insurance quote. Or the child of an original owner holding a cape off Montauk Highway with the first kitchen, an oil boiler, a cesspool that has never been opened, and sixty years of contents. Prime Realty Buyers buys both as they stand, along with the estate still in Surrogate’s Court and the vacant house the family has been heating for nobody. We can close on an Oakdale house in as little as 7 days.
Trusted By Oakdale Homeowners In:
Idle Hour, the Vanderbilt Boulevard blocks, the Shore Drive river houses, the canal streets, the capes between Montauk Highway and Sunrise, and the Oakdale-Bohemia Road side, plus surrounding Suffolk communities including Great River, West Sayville, Sayville, Bohemia, East Islip, Islip Terrace, and Bayport.
Why Oakdale Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Oakdale sells for two reasons, water and time. The river and bay houses carry Sandy and a flood zone a buyer’s bank has to price, and the capes north of Montauk Highway carry sixty years of one family’s ownership. Either way the lender is the one who says no.
Sellers across Oakdale reach out to us when they're dealing with:
We make a direct cash offer, explain every line, and close on your date. No elevation certificate, no repairs, no commissions.
We Buy Oakdale Houses As-Is
You don’t raise the house. You don’t replace the boiler. You don’t get a third insurance quote.
We buy:
Take what matters. Leave the rest. The flood paperwork, the boiler, the dock, and the basement are ours the day we close.
Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a local Long Island buyer. We close in Oakdale and across the Town of Islip every month, and the person who walks the river house is the person who writes the offer. We explain the number, what we factored in for the flood zone, the cesspool, or the cleanout, and we send proof of funds in writing on request.
We work with your attorney and your executor, and we close on your date. If the flood policy renews in three weeks and you’d rather not pay it again, we close before it does. If Mom is still in the cape and the move is in the spring, we close in the spring.

Real Oakdale Seller Stories
Probate Property
My father’s house on the Idle Hour side went into probate in January and Letters didn’t issue until July. The flood policy renewed in between and the estate paid it. Prime Realty Buyers signed a contract in February and waited without pushing. When the Letters came, Chris closed in ten days. The Sandy repairs had never been signed off and he never asked me to chase the Town.
Inherited House
My parents bought the ranch off Oakdale-Bohemia Road in 1961 and everything in it was original, down to the fuse box. My brother lives in Wilmington and I’m in Raleigh. Prime Realty Buyers bought it with the furniture, the oil tank, and the workbench in the garage, arranged both signings by mail, and closed in five weeks. Chris explained the number to both of us on one call.
Repair Distress
Our cesspool backed up into the basement in March. The street has no sewer, the county wanted an I/A system, and the quote was more than we had saved. Chris walked the house two days later, priced the septic into his offer, and showed me exactly how. Prime Realty Buyers closed in 17 days. We never dug up the yard or pumped it again.
Downsizing
Fifty one years in the same cape north of Montauk Highway. My wife and I were moving to Delaware and we did not want six months of strangers or a sign for the whole block to see. Prime Realty Buyers came once, sent the offer in writing the next day, and gave us until the new place was ready. Closed in nine weeks, on our date. Nobody knew until the truck came.
Flood Zone
Our house on Shore Drive took four feet in Sandy. We rebuilt the first floor ourselves and never got an elevation certificate. Three buyers walked once their flood quotes came back. Chris walked it, said the zone was already in his number, and Prime Realty Buyers closed in 20 days. No certificate, no engineer, no fourth quote. We moved up to Bohemia the same month.

Frequently Asked Questions, Oakdale
Our Idle Hour house was rebuilt after Sandy and the Town of Islip never signed off. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Unfinished or unpermitted Sandy rebuilds are common in Idle Hour and along Shore Drive, and they stop a buyer’s lender cold. We pay cash, buy the house with the open paperwork, and handle the Town of Islip on our side after closing.
Do you buy Oakdale houses on the Connetquot River or the canals without a flood insurance quote or an elevation certificate?
Yes. We’re paying cash, so no lender requires either one. We know the Oakdale flood maps and we price the zone into the offer ourselves. You don’t get a quote, you don’t hire an engineer, and you don’t carry a policy for a buyer who might walk.
My parents' cape off Montauk Highway hasn't been touched since 1962. Is that a problem for Prime Realty Buyers?
It’s what we expect in Oakdale. First kitchen, first boiler, the fuse box, the oil tank. We buy original owner houses that way every month, price the updates into the offer, and show you how we got there. You don’t replace anything.
Our Oakdale street has no sewer and the cesspool failed. Do I have to replace it before I sell?
Not for us. Suffolk County generally requires a failed system to be replaced with an I/A unit, which is a five figure job. We buy the house with the failed cesspool, factor the replacement into our offer, and pull the county permit after closing.
Does the empty Dowling campus change what you'll pay for a house near it?
No. The campus has been empty since 2016 and the houses around it have kept selling. Our offer is about the house, the lot, and what it needs, priced on Oakdale comparables. It doesn’t add a contingency or slow the timeline.
Letters haven't issued on my father's estate yet. Can Prime Realty Buyers sign now and close later?
Yes. We sign a contract with the executor now and close the week Surrogate’s Court issues Letters. The house sits quietly until then, no showings and no lockbox. If the estate is paying a flood policy in the meantime, closing fast after Letters is where you come out ahead.
The dock and the deck on the river were never permitted. Does that stop the sale?
Not with us. We buy the house with the unpermitted dock, deck, or addition and take it to the Town of Islip ourselves after closing. You don’t legalize it, remove it, or pay for an engineer.
What are the fees when I sell to Prime Realty Buyers?
There aren’t any. 0% commissions, no closing costs charged to you, no fees at any point. The written offer is what you receive, less only what you owe on the house.
