The Zone
Parkside Drive is the west border of the grid: houses on one side, the Town Park at Point Lookout on the other. For the houses on the west side of the street the park boundary is across the road, and the park entrance on Lido Boulevard is about five minutes on foot from the middle of the street. The Town's park carries roughly 1,800 feet of ocean beach across the inlet from Jones Beach, a turf field complex, picnic tables and play equipment. Sixty parcels hold 51 houses, 78 percent of them built before 1960 against 77 percent hamlet-wide, median year 1938, the earliest county card reading 1898. Houses run a little smaller than the hamlet median, 1,632 sq ft of living area against 1,733, on lots at the town median of 4,000 sq ft. Sixteen of the 51 have a boundary facing open ground. Capes, colonials and bungalows, in that order. The dune is two to nine minutes away depending where on the street you stand, the bay about six.

How the zone is drawn
Parkside Drive — every parcel addressed on Parkside Drive, the westernmost street of the residential grid, running from Bayside Drive down to the ocean end. Its west flank is the Town Park at Point Lookout.

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.
