The north edge of the hamlet, facing Reynolds Channel.
The Zone
Bayside Drive runs the north edge of Point Lookout, Reynolds Channel on one side and the top of the avenues on the other. Sixty parcels carry 39 houses, and the stock is unlike the rest of the hamlet: a median 2,344 sq ft of living area against 1,733 hamlet-wide, on a median 4,500 sq ft lot where the town median is 4,000. It is also the most rebuilt stretch after the boulevard. Thirty-eight percent of the houses date from before 1960, where the hamlet as a whole is 77 percent, and a quarter have gone up since 2000. Twenty-seven of the 39 have a boundary that opens onto water or open ground rather than onto a neighbor, a median 60 feet of it. The trade is distance from the surf: the channel is across the road, the ocean beach a ten-minute walk at the other end of town, Lido Boulevard three minutes. Colonials, contemporaries and split levels, the oldest county card 1929 and the newest 2019.

How the zone is drawn
Bayside Drive and Bayside Avenue — every parcel whose address street is Bayside, plus every parcel north of the Bayside Drive roadway (centroid latitude 40.5937 or higher), which picks up the bay ends of Glenwood, Inwood, Lynbrook and Mineola. The north edge of the hamlet, facing Reynolds Channel. The east tip of Bayside Drive, where the channel opens into Jones Inlet, is counted here rather than with the inlet.

The Record
What the county card says.
Every figure here is counted from Nassau County property cards, the tax roll and the county parcel map, measured on this zone's own boundary and set beside the hamlet as a whole.
Prices and taxes are not on this page. Those depend on the house, and we would rather talk them through than publish an average that fits none of them.

Walking times are estimated from parcel locations at an easy walking pace. No route was walked.
Original means a county year built before 1960, rebuilt means 1960 or later. A gut rebuild sometimes keeps its original year on the county card, so the original share is an upper bound.
The zones overlap on purpose, because the ground does. Every figure is counted on the zone's own full definition, so the counts add up to more than the hamlet total.
What a page cannot hold
Which side of the street, which houses see water, and what a lot can carry are the conversation, not the page.
Every figure above comes from the county record, and the county record stops well short of what you actually want to know about a block. Call the office and ask. We are at 24A Lido Blvd, inside the hamlet, and we have been selling these streets since 1958.
