About the neighborhood
Water on every side
Boats on Reynolds Channel are the constant backdrop in this small Town of Hempstead hamlet, set between the mainland and Long Beach with water on nearly every side. Mid-century bungalows and classic cottages, many brick or weathered shingle, line winding streets threaded by canals. Originally called Hog Island, it was renamed for Sarah Ann Baldwin Barnum, whose poor farm once occupied the land before eras as farmland and then a summer resort.
Boating, fishing, and kayaking define the pace, with Jones Beach and other parks close at hand. Children attend school in the neighboring Island Park district, and the community's rebuild after Hurricane Sandy says a lot about how neighbors here show up for one another. Best suited to people who want unpretentious, water-first living.
