The easternmost avenue, and the last address before open ground.
The Zone
Mineola Avenue is the easternmost street of the grid and the last address before open ground. The county tax roll shows the land on its east flank as a single 36-acre Town of Hempstead tract running out to the Jones Inlet shore, and the Civic Association describes the hamlet as bounded on the east by Point Lookout Public Park. Eighty parcels carry 60 houses. Lots run to a median 4,500 sq ft and houses to a median 2,396 sq ft of living area, the largest of the eight zones, against 4,000 and 1,733 hamlet-wide. Seventy percent were built before 1960, median year 1950, and 13 percent since 2000; the newest card reads 2024. Twenty-seven of the 60 have a boundary that faces open ground rather than a neighbor. From the middle of the avenue, Lido Boulevard is two minutes on foot, the bay four, the ocean beach five, and the Town Park gate at the far end of the hamlet eleven.

How the zone is drawn
Mineola Avenue — every parcel addressed on Mineola Avenue, both sides, from Bayside Drive to the ocean end. Mineola is the easternmost avenue of the grid; the county tax roll shows the land on its east flank as a single 36-acre Town of Hempstead tract running out to the Jones Inlet shore. The stretch south of Lido Boulevard is also the inlet zone and has its own page.

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.
