Local Area Information

Syosset is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in one of Nassau County’s three townships, the Town of Oyster Bay, near the North Shore of Long Island, New York. Conveniently located between the interstate and Jericho Turnpike, it is primarily a neighborhood of apartments, distinguished by plenty of nice homes and a certain charm of a small town with wooded hillsides.

There are, however, several small businesses operating in the Syosset, NY 11791 and 11773 ZIP codes, and the Chamber of Commerce is working to help new business people start their own businesses. They are conveniently spread throughout various commercial areas in the downtown business district and the east-west Jericho Turnpike, which is a major commercial strip. Syosset certainly is growing, while retaining its original values.

Syosset Station serves as an invisible boundary that divides the hamlet informally between north and south. On the north, houses tend to be older and have more character, since it is where many of the farms were originally located, and, after being subdivided and developed, a few homes from the 1800s remained on lots of no less than an acre. On the south are the more standard housing structures, including starter single-family homes at entry-level prices, and possible mother-daughter houses, though there are also luxury properties with pools.

Syosset has its own school district, post office, fire department, and train station, even though it is not incorporated. It has a gated condominium complex, Hidden Ridge, which is a great alternative to single-family houses for either first-time home buyers or empty-nesters who wish to downsize. An alternative is the nearby Eagle Rock Apartments at Woodbury, which is often used as a means of entry into Syosset schools, and has 482 one- and two-bedroom rental units.

The community is approximately 30 miles east of Manhattan, and served by the Syosset Station via the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. Commuters, though, may find that the Hicksville Station to the south provides more frequent and faster trips. Driving to or from the city takes about an hour and 37 minutes to an hour and 55 minutes via the Long Island Expressway.
