Baywood, NY Homes for Rent

Baywood, NY, located near Long Island’s south shore in Suffolk County, offers a quiet, almost-rural atmosphere with established homes on tucked-away streets. The community has a variety of housing styles, including bi-levels, ranch-style homes, bungalows, and Colonial Revivals, mostly built during the 1950s and 1960s. Tall oak and evergreen trees provide privacy, and fenced-in backyards are common. Despite the lack of sidewalks, the absence of through traffic makes the streets ideal for biking and walking dogs. Baywood is approximately 45 miles from Manhattan and 30 miles from JFK International Airport, with convenient access to the Long Island Rail Road's Deer Park and Babylon stations for commuting. Local schools in the Brentwood Union Free School District are highly rated and offer various enrichment programs and day camps. For shopping, Tanger Outlets in Deer Park and nearby supermarkets like ALDI and BJ’s Wholesale Club are easily accessible. Dining options on Bay Shore Road and Deer Park Avenue include El Takicardio, Kabab Platter & Burger, and The Olympic Diner. Outdoor recreation is abundant, with Robert Moses State Park just 10 miles south, featuring a 5-mile oceanside shoreline, a boardwalk to Fire Island Lighthouse and a pitch and putt golf course. Closer to home, Birchwood Park and the Edgewood Oak Brush Plains Preserve offer baseball diamonds, playgrounds and over 20 miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking.
