We saw a house today in North Merrick that we fell in love with. The block is quiet, tree lined, very far from any main roads. The house is zoned for Camp Ave. School, if we did Catholic it looks like the closest is St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Bellmore. Everyone says south of Merrick Rd. is most desirable, but this area seemed so nice. Is there anything we should know?
Residents are uppity and obnoxious IN SOUTH MERRICK.
Edited that for you.
Merrick Woods is great. Camp Ave. School is great. Old Mill Rd. School is great as well.
There has been some local organizing recently to really make some improvements to the downtown area. An influx of young families are breathing new life into a nice, but tired town.

Agree. I like the whole stretch...North Merrick, N. Bellmore, South East meadow, South Levittown, N. Wantagh (basically most everything south of N. Jerusalem). All good areas for decent starter homes and neighborhoods so always influxes of hard working, young and not so young families who are into kids activities and community. Not as many 2 Beamers in the driveways. More a late model SUV and commuting sedan that gets parked at the LIRR station. Good people with old school NY/LI values make for good neighborhoods in my opinion. Taxes too high, schools not quite good 'enough', but that's par for the course around here. But most bang for the buck if you ask me.
Love the Merrick Woods area as well. Looked there last year but some of the prices were getting out of hand. Small capes going for $550 plus + $13k in taxes. That's the market these days I guess
