Buying in Garden City South -- Newsday.com


According to my maps, Adelphi University appears to be in the south part of the Village of Garden City, and not, as reported in the above article, in the Hamlet of Garden City South.


Garden City South is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the northwest section of the Town of Hempstead, in the west part of Nassau County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Garden City South in the Town of Hempstead is bordered on the north and east by the Village of Garden City; on the south by the Hamlet of West Hempstead; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Franklin Square.

Garden City South is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the hamlet name in their mailing address: places in the Hamlet of Garden City South have a "Garden City, NY 11530", "West Hempstead, NY 11552" and "Franklin Square, NY 11010" mailing address.
