seaford (Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Levittown: to rent, crime, buying)

[jeanfc54]

is this a nice place to rent or buy? what does the town have to offer? shopping etc? and what about schools and crime and transportation??

jeanfc54, it depends on what you mean by "Seaford": more than half the places with a "Seaford, NY 11783" mailing address (3,942 acres) are not in the Hamlet of Seaford (1,758 acres).


For those who may not be familiar with Seaford:

Seaford is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the extreme southeast section of the Town of Hempstead, in the southeast part of Nassau County, along the Hempstead/Oyster Bay town line.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Seaford in the Town of Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of North Wantagh; on the east by the Hamlet of Massapequa, Town of Oyster Bay (the Hempstead/Oyster Bay town line); on the south by Zachs Bay; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Wantagh.





Seaford is one of those villages and hamlets on Long Island where the majority of the places with the community name as part of their mailing address are not in the hamlet: those places that have a "Seaford, NY 11783" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Seaford are in the Hamlet of North Wantagh and the Hamlet of Levittown in the Town of Hempstead and in the Hamlet of North Massapequa and the Hamlet of Plainedge in the Town of Oyster Bay.

Seaford is a very nice middle class town. The school district is quite good too. You would not make a bad choice by buying in Seaford.
