For those who may not be familiar with Glen Head:

Glen Head is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the northwest part of the Town of Oyster Bay, in the north-central part of Nassau County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Glen Head in the Town of Oyster Bay is bordered on the north by the City of Glen Cove; on the east by the Village of Matinecock; on the south by the Village of Old Brookville and the Hamlet of Glenwood Landing; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Glenwood Landing and the Village of Sea Cliff.





Glen Head is one of those villages and hamlets on Long Island where the majority of the places with the community name in their mailing address are not in the hamlet: places that have a "Glen Head, NY 11545" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Glen Head are in the Village of Matinecock, the Village of Old Brookville, the Village of Brookville, the Village of Upper Brookville, the Village of Old Westbury, the Hamlet of East Norwich, the Village of Muttontown and the Hamlet of Glenwood Landing.

A few of those houses in the immediate vicinity of Harbor Road have some stectchy neighbors, but Avenue C is not ghetto at all. Prices are lower there because its a cut through street. A few of those 450K houses are two doors down from 700-800K houses. Know the area first before you post such ignorant comments!

Even Manorhaven isn't all bad, there are some good deals to be had there too!

Most of the problems Port had years back seem to have dissappeared, don't think twice about moving here.

I agree, moved to Port a year ago and with some reservations due to some of the negative posts I have seen on this board but I have no regrets and I never looked back. Port is a great safe town and I do think its really a up and coming place. It has great restaurants, Cafes, and shops plus one of the best modern libraries in the county. They are also investing in the water front to make it more accessable to the community and the Port Washington LIRR line makes it very accessable to NYC. I find much to do here and it being a great place to live.
