Flower Hill/Roslyn neighborhood (Hempstead, Oyster Bay: zip code, moving, estates)

[modmondays]

Can anyone tell me about the neighborhood mix (white/blue collar and religious diversity) of the Flower Hill section of Roslyn?

Is it similar to East Hills/Roslyn or is it more mixed like Port Washington (which it basically borders)

Thanks again

The Village of Flower Hill by definition can not be part of the Village of Rosyln (a village can not be part of a separate village). The geographic confusion is because (1) part of the Village of Flower Hill has a "Roslyn, NY 11576" mailing address and (2) the "Roslyn, NY 11576" ZIP Code postal zone (3,496 acres) is more than 9 times as large as the Village of Roslyn (381 acres) and 9 out of every 10 places that has a "Roslyn, NY 11576" mailing address are not in the Village of Roslyn.
