Renting in Jericho? townhouse or condo (Hempstead, Oyster Bay: apartment complex, for rent, condos)

[jaypp]

Hi

As we have a 4 year old daughter and want to find her a good school district. I have yet been able to find a job (CPA accountant) in Long island yet so plan to commute to the city. And was looking to rent first.

Just curious are there any apartments or condo for rent in Jericho? Also are Condos/townhouse land tax lower and do they charge a maintance cost?

Thanks

You might want to check out the Westwood Village Apartments, just off Brush Hollow Road in the part of the Hamlet of Jericho that has a "Westbury, NY 11590" mailing address.

Fairhaven Apartments is another apartment complex to check out. It's south of Northern State Parkway and to the west side of North Broadway, straddling the Jericho/Hicksville border, so make sure you ask to see only the apartments that are in the Jericho Union Free School District.


For those who may not be familiar with Jericho:

Jericho is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the center-west part of the Town of Oyster Bay in the central part of Nassau County, along the Oyster Bay/North Hempstead town line.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Jericho in the Town of Oyster Bay is bordered on the north by the Village of Old Westbury, the Village of Brookville, the Village of Muttontown and the Hamlet of Syosset; on the east by the Hamlet of Syosset and the Hamlet of Hicksville; on the south by the Hamlet of Hicksville and the Hamlet of New Cassel in the Town of North Hempstead (the Oyster Bay/North Hempstead town line); and, on the west by the Village of Westbury in the Town of North Hempstead (the Oyster Bay/North Hempstead town line) and the Village of Old Westbury.





The Hamlet of Jericho has a different border than does the "Jericho, NY 11753" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Jericho, NY 11753" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Jericho and a place can be in the Hamlet of Jericho and have other than a "Jericho, NY 11753" mailing address): places that have a "Jericho, NY 11753" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Jericho are in the Village of Brookville, the Village of Muttontown, the Village of Old Westbury, the Hamlet of Syosset and the Hamlet of Hicksville; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Jericho that have a "Westbury, NY 11590" and "Hicksville, NY 11801" mailing address.
