The row that faces Jones Inlet.
The Zone
The inlet end is the row that faces Jones Inlet: the east side of Mineola Avenue from Lido Boulevard south to the last house before the shore, the Mineola parcels across the street on the ocean block, and the Lynbrook holdings that run street-to-street through to Mineola. Sixty-six parcels, 46 of them with houses, and twenty accessory or vacant tax-map lots held alongside them, close to a third of the parcels, which is why several holdings here are wider than one lot line suggests. Houses are large for their land: a median 2,292 sq ft of living area on a median 3,000 sq ft parcel. Three quarters were built before 1960, median year 1944, with seven since 2000 and one card as recent as 2024. East of the row the tax roll shows Town of Hempstead land running to the water. Jones Beach is across the inlet; the ocean beach is four minutes on foot, the boulevard three.

How the zone is drawn
The row that faces Jones Inlet, drawn to the broker's own definition rather than to a line of longitude: the east side of Mineola Avenue from Lido Boulevard south to the last house before the shore; the Mineola Avenue parcels across the street on the ocean block (centroid latitude below 40.5892); and the Lynbrook Avenue holdings in county block 60 that run street-to-street through to Mineola, identified from the tax-map frontage table as block-60 Lynbrook parcels with frontage on Mineola Avenue or a lot depth of 140 feet or more.

The Record
What the county card says.
Every figure here is counted from Nassau County property cards, the tax roll and the county parcel map, measured on this zone's own boundary and set beside the hamlet as a whole.
Prices and taxes are not on this page. Those depend on the house, and we would rather talk them through than publish an average that fits none of them.

Walking times are estimated from parcel locations at an easy walking pace. No route was walked.
Original means a county year built before 1960, rebuilt means 1960 or later. A gut rebuild sometimes keeps its original year on the county card, so the original share is an upper bound.
The zones overlap on purpose, because the ground does. Every figure is counted on the zone's own full definition, so the counts add up to more than the hamlet total.
What a page cannot hold
Which side of the street, which houses see water, and what a lot can carry are the conversation, not the page.
Every figure above comes from the county record, and the county record stops well short of what you actually want to know about a block. Call the office and ask. We are at 24A Lido Blvd, inside the hamlet, and we have been selling these streets since 1958.
