Woodmere, LI, NY is located on the South Shore of Long Island, about 20 minutes from JFK Airport. It is easily accessible by car, bus and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). It is the largest community in the 5 Towns, covering 2.6 square miles, and is also the most populous with approx 16,000 residents.

In my opinion the Old Woodmere area is the most interesting part of Woodmere. The houses in Old Woodmere are exactly that, older. Many of the homes were built as early as 1900. There is a variety of Tudors, Colonials and Dutch Colonials. Many are built of brick and the original cement stucco. Every houses is different, every house has its own charm and character.
They don't make homes like these anymore. High ceilings with detail moldings, hardwood floors throughout, plaster walls and lots of Old World charm. It is a residential neighborhood with little to no commercial properties. Big old trees abound.
Old Woodmere bordered by Woodsburgh, Hewlett Neck, Hewlett Harbor and Hewlett Bay Park. Old Woodmere is within walking distance of the Woodmere shopping area along Broadway. It includes a large variety of stores, Woodmere Bowling, dining, nail salons and more. The recently redone Hewlett Woodmere Public Library is also located on Broadway, across from Trinity Church
Old Woodmere is located in the Hewlett Woodmere Public School system - School District 14. The children
attend FECC (Franklin Early Childhood Center) for Pre=K, K and 1st grade. Then it's off to Hewlett Elementary School, Woodmere Middle School and then GW Hewlett High School.
Typically homes in Old Woodmere start in the $ 500,000's but there are fixer uppers that can be had for less.
