A map of the Island Trees Union Free School District:





Yes.

A map of the Hamlet of East Meadow in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County:


The Hamlet of East Meadow has a different border than does the "East Meadow, NY 11554" ZIP Code postal zone (a place can be in the Hamlet of East Meadow and have other than an "East Meadow, NY 11554" mailing address): there are a few places in the Hamlet of East Meadow that have a "Westbury, NY 11590" mailing address.

I stand corrected and thanks it is East Meadow

I hate border roads, one of the most confusing is Old Town rd. One section connects three hamlets, Coram, Selden and Terryville. One guy who lives one block north of Old Town said his mailing address is Port Jeff Station. He was on Cedar next to the "W" section so I thought he was in Coram.

Bear in mind that parts of the Hamlet of Levittown have a "Seaford, NY 11783" and a "Bethpage, NY 11714" maikling address, but no part of either the Hamlet of Seaford nor the Hamlet of Bethpage are in the Island Trees Union Free School District.

I guess that's the reason for the increase of property crime at Bellmore train station. Gangs from Freeport are taking the rail to Bellmore to vandalize property at the station.

Show me stats where crime is higher at the border neighborhoods of Merrick. Seaford and Bellmore seem to be a whole lot scarier and unsafe than Merrick.

Why is Seaford and Bellmore scary and unsafe? I am unfamiliar with the areas but I had them on my list of areas to look for a home... should I be taking these off my list??

The housing stock in Merrick, Wantagh and Massapequa is a little more diverse and in better shape. Seaford and Bellmore seem to have a larger inventory of capes, small ranches and bungalows. Several posters have also written that Seaford south of Merrick rd has a lot of section 8. I just don't like areas where the houses lookalike. That's why I purchased on the North Shore. To the average person from Merrick to the Suffolk County border, just like their train stations, all those towns lookalike. There really isn't a big difference in any of them.

Yes North Bellmore is near Uniondale. I would not want to live there either, and I really do not need to elaborate. There are better places to live in my opinion.
I need not elaborate further.
I am entitled to not like an area for any reason I want - as is anyone else on this forum - or anyplace else.
I might dislike it because it has boring architecture, bad schools, is close to towns that are undesirable, has no trees, is flat, , has mediocre schools, is too near Jericho Turnpike, lacks history, or has too many people of the same ethnic group and is not diverse enough.

And those are just a few of the reasons.

Calling me "genius" in a sarcastic and disparaging manner must indicate that I threaten you.

As for the poster who corrected me about the exact boundaries of Bellmore - I could not care less what the exact boundaries are.It is near enough to those places and it is not such a nice place itself. -IMO.

The OP asked why homes were so inexpensive there. There is always a reason. I gave my opinion and I am not alone in it. and you know what? I wouldn't care if I was.
I Ido not need the validation of others.

people who live in seaford and bethpage don't pay levitown taxes or have a levittown mailing address. This isn't the dark ages when you grew up in hamlets.

NYS Geographic Glossary and Excellent Long Island Geographic Resource may be of some help to you in understanding the geography of "Lawn Guyland".

Don't worry, these towns are not unsafe. There is no such thing as a town that is completely void of all crime and Bellmore is no exception but the typical crimes in Bellmore are more petty theft, vandalism, not things like murder, rape and such.

Don't read in to the responses here too seriously, take all with a grain of salt. I have lived in the area all my life and I feel safe and love the area. I am a South Shore person and always will be. Certainly others with difference preferences may not choose the area for whatever reasons but I can assure you Bellmore should be kept on your list. Go experience the town for yourself.
