North Woodmere, New York

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Woodmere is an unincorporated area section of Valley Stream, located in Nassau County, New York on the South Shore of Long Island. North Woodmere is directly north of Woodmere, but separated from it by Mott's Creek. Access to Woodmere is available via Branch Boulevard and a footbridge over the creek.

Hungry Harbor Road is the main east-west route through North Woodmere, connecting with Branch Boulevard (to Cedarhurst) and Brookfield-Rosedale Road (to Hewlett). Park Lane provides access to upper Rosedale Road, and from there to Francis Lewis Boulevard, Sunrise Highway, and the Belt Parkway/Cross Island Parkway junction.

A small shopping mall, anchored by Annie Sez, is located on Rosedale Road. Another former shopping center on Hungry Harbor Road is now an assisted living center.

The community is home to North Woodmere Park, a Nassau County park. The park includes a large pool complex and a nine-hole golf course. Just south of the park is a fishing area on the west end of the inter-Woodmere creek.

North Woodmere has a very large Jewish population and is home to several synagogues, including Congregation Ohr Torah,Young Israel of North Woodmere Beis Haknesses of North Woodmere and Temple Hillel.

This relatively small physical area, less than three square miles, is served by three distinct school districts: 15 (Lawrence Public Schools) in the west, 14 (Hewlett-Woodmere School District) in the center, and districts 13, 24 and 30 (Valley Stream Central High School District) in the east.
