Everything south of Beech Street, where the avenues run down to the dune.
The Zone
The ocean block means what it means locally: everything south of Beech Street, where eleven avenues run down to Ocean Boulevard and the dune. It is the largest zone — 339 parcels, 289 houses, 35 percent of the hamlet's houses — and the oldest: median year built 1936, 84 percent from before 1960, the earliest county card 1914. Lots run to a median 3,840 sq ft and houses to a median 1,794 sq ft of living area, both a little under the hamlet median. Colonials, capes, old-style houses and bungalows, in that order. From anywhere on the block the dune is one to three minutes on foot and the bay side of the hamlet about eight. What the medians cannot show is position. Two houses of the same size on the same avenue can sit in very different places, and what separates them is where in the block they stand and what they look at. The last row toward the beach has its own page; the rest is a house-by-house question.

How the zone is drawn
The ocean block as Point Lookout uses the term: everything south of Beech Street. In the data, centroid latitude between 40.5860 and 40.5892 — the ocean ends of all eleven avenues plus Ocean Boulevard itself. It is a long block, roughly 1,000 feet from Beech Street down to the dune, so the last row toward the beach is split out as its own zone, the ocean end.
Streetsthe ocean ends of Parkside, Baldwin, Bellmore, Cedarhurst, Freeport, Garden City, Glenwood, Hewlett, Inwood, Lynbrook and Mineola, plus Ocean Boulevard
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.
