The original village grid, between Beech Street and Lido Boulevard.
The Zone
This is the original village grid: Baldwin through Lynbrook between Beech Street and Lido Boulevard, with Beech Street itself. Four hundred of the hamlet's 823 houses stand here, on 453 parcels — most of Point Lookout, and so most of what changes hands. Everything is on foot and on the flat. From the middle of the grid the dune is a four-to-nine-minute walk, the bay one to six, Lido Boulevard one to four, the Town Park gate four to ten. It holds the widest range of house ages in the hamlet, county cards running from 1868 to 2025, and close to its full range of sizes, from just over 500 sq ft of living area to nearly 4,400, median 1,605 on a median 3,180 sq ft lot. Colonials, bungalows, capes and old-style houses, in that order, 78 percent of them built before 1960. This is the part of town people walk through on the way to everywhere else, and the part most of Point Lookout lives in.

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.
