many parts of the north shore are more isolated & take longer to get to a highway, south shore as a general rule has better access to major roads. south shore waterfront property is usually on a canal, most of north shore waterfront is on bluffs or directly on the LI sound. Both north & south shores have their share of quaint villages like Sayville & Port Jeff.
I have lived on both shores & while I love the convenience of the south shore, the north shore feels like home to me.
ClarkStreetKid almost has it right but south shore does have Molloy College. parts of Hewlett have that north shore vibe in the harbor. North shore is hilly and yes new enland vibe. South shore flat-but more diversity in the way the areas look. Some look like Queens, with blocks, some on cul de sacs, some hilly and new englandish. I too like both for different reasons. I just went to Byville for the first time last week near the scream park. I felt like I was in Conn.

For those who may not be familiar with Bayville:
Bayville is a village (incorporated in 1919) in the north part of the Town of Oyster Bay, in the northeast part of Nassau County.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Village of Bayville in the Town of Oyster Bay is bordered on the north by Long Island Sound; on the east by the Village of Centre Island; on the south by Oyster Bay Harbor and the Village of Mill Neck; and, on the west by the Village of Lattingtown and the Hamlet of Locust Valley.
Bayville is one of the many villages and hamlets where the majority of places with the community name in their mailing address are not in the village: places with a "Bayville, NY 11709" mailing address that are not in the Village of Bayville are in the Village of Centre Island, the Village of Mill Neck and the Hamlet of Locust Valley.

I would agree about the access to major roads being better on the south shore as a general rule. The pleasant surprise I found when moving east and north was I could be by family/work/friend visits back in the other counties quicker even though I was farther...I call it the "Southern State Parkway" corrollary (spelling)...the further you are from it, the better traffic (and your life) feels..
