Merrick Woods

Once they see it, so many people choose Merrick Woods as their destination for a home purchase.  There are so many benefits to living in "The Woods."  On Long Island's south shore of Nassau County, it's a 41 minute ride on the LIRR into midtown. For much of Merrick Woods, you're within easy walking distance to the railroad and in comfortable commuting distance to New York City.  Merrick is the third stop on the Babylon branch of the Long Island Railroad, after which the train expresses into Jamaica, on it's way into Manhattan's Penn Station.

The schools of Merrick Woods fall into three districts: on the north end, the children go to North Merrick schools (SD #29), the southern end attend Merrick Schools (SD# 25) and on the east side they attend N. Bellmore schools (SD# 4).  Both Merrick school districts feed into Merrick Avenue Middle school and Calhoun High School.  Only the elementary school level is affected by the difference in district.  North goes to Camp Avenue, while south attend Chatterton.

A woodsy area, with wonderful old trees lining most of its streets, Merrick Woods is home to many different styles of homes.  You'll find capes, colonials, an occasional split level, ranches, hi ranches and a number of newly constructed homes dotting the landscape.

There's a feeling of permanence in Merrick Woods.  Originally developed in the mid 20th century, many homes have changed with the times.  Irrespective of the updates, they manage to maintain a homogeneous feel.  Families interact here is a way that harkens back to a quieter time, when family and friends gathered around the hearth, enjoying each other's company just for the joy of it.
