You're really buying "location. location. location". There is simply no town on Long Island like Point Lookout.

It's oceanfront - one of the few in Nassau County. Even in Suffolk, you have to go to Southampton before you find a true oceanfront town. That's a ways out.

It's also bay front. Point Lookout has its own bay front - unbelievably convenient to the ocean. You can walk from the ocean to the bay in about 10 minutes. Again - unique.

It's a very safe place. There's no through traffic since the only road into the town ends in the town. Traffic is light - to say the least.

The small size, compactness, well lighted streets, and lack of exit roads make the place very inhospitable to criminals. Not to mention that the town is very well patrolled by the police.

Like the Beach? It's a 10 minute walk from your front door - and it's limited to Point Lookout residents.

And - Point Lookout is convenient.

Work in Manhattan? Want to be able to take a dip in the ocean after work? It's no problem if you live here. Leave work at 5PM - actually be swimming at 7:10. That even includes the time it takes you to change into your swimsuit.

If you work on Long Island, your commute is even shorter.

Want to pretend that you live in a quiet little beach town in the middle of nowhere?

Point Lookout's separation from it's neighbors to the west (by miles of public parks), coupled with water on the other 3 sides of the town, creates such a feeling.

There are stores, services, gas station, and restaurants all within an easy, 10 minute, walking distance. Again - more like old-time, small-town America than modern suburbia.

There are very, very few towns - anywhere - that still offer that convenience.
