Residential community near dining and entertainment
Just 4 miles from the South Shore of Long Island, North Massapequa has good schools and beautiful parks and is only a few minutes from popular shopping and dining in Massapequa Park’s walkable downtown as well as longstanding, beloved restaurants in Massapequa. “You don’t go to North Massapequa because you want to be on the water, but it’s still a great town,” says Philip Donnellan, an associate broker at Deans R E & Moving Homes and Massapequa native with 19 years of experience selling in the area. “It’s very similar to Massapequa — it’s a very community-focused feel.” Aside from its lack of waterfront access, living in North Massapequa is a lot like living in the other Massapequas. Locals attend the same events and often talk about all of the Massapequas as one big community.
Plainedge Middle School has 645 students in grades 6-8 with a student-teacher ratio of 10 to 1.

Plainedge, Farmingdale and Massapequa schools
North Massapequa is split between the Plainedge Union Free School District, the Farmingdale Union Free School District, which each earn an A-minus from Niche, and the Massapequa Union Free School District, which earns an A. According to Donnellan, locals pay close attention to which school district their prospective homes are in. “It’s a big thing,” he says. “People who went to Massapequa High School say they want to be in Massapequa schools, and people who grew up in Massapequa in Plainedge schools say the same thing about those schools. It’s the same for Farmingdale schools. It’s because it’s what you knew, what you grew up with.” Plainedge Union Free School District covers a large portion of North Massapequa. Children in this district can attend Eastplain Elementary School, which has an A-minus, before moving on to Plainedge Middle School and Plainedge High School, which both have B-pluses. At Plainedge High, students can participate in activities like forensics, robotics and jazz choir clubs.

Easy access to major highways, LIRR
While the community is landlocked, Donnellan and Elpis Hardiman, a licensed real estate salesperson at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, agree that the tradeoff is its proximity to major highways, including the Southern State Parkway, Bethpage State Parkway and Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway. It makes traveling nearly anywhere on Long Island easy and convenient. “If you drive your commute, you’re that much closer to the parkway,” Donnellan says. The Long Island Rail Road’s Massapequa Station is also under a mile away. From there, the train arrives in New York City in about 50 minutes.
North Massapequa residents can use the Massapequa LIRR station to get to Penn Station.

Hiking and fishing in the Massapequa Preserve
North Massapequa contains part of the Massapequa Preserve, which is full of hiking trails and bike paths where locals can get out and enjoy nature. “It’s serene and tranquil,” Hardiman says. It’s also huge, measuring in at 432 acres. The Bethpage Bike Trail runs through it, leading nearly to the waterfront to the south and all the way to Bethpage State Park to the north. The park’s lake is also popular among local fishermen. “They have a fishing bridge just north of Clark Boulevard that was put up when I was in fifth or sixth grade,” Donnellan says. “And it’s been there ever since. It’s maybe a 12-foot bridge, but it’s a cool little bridge, and every year, the Town of Oyster Bay stocks the lake for fish.”
Plainedge Park is popular for its turf-covered baseball and soccer field where many local teams practice and play. On the weekends, a snack stand is open to sell hot dogs, churros and plenty of other snacks and drinks during games. Nearby, The United Skates of America offers an indoor skating rink and an arcade, making it a favorite stop for indoor entertainment.
Many shaded paved trails exist at Bethpage State Park in Old Bethpage.

Residents here participate in most of Massapequa’s yearly events, including its Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day parades. During the summer, John J. Burns Park, which is 4 miles away, hosts free outdoor concerts every week. According to Donnellan, a wide range of music genres are represented at the concerts, from hip-hop to old-school bands like The Zombies, who played in the park a few years ago.

Here on long island, we get all the seasons of weather. We are an island so tides and tropical storms and hurricanes arent unusual. We have great summer weather and the best beaches. we are close to upstate NY so in the winter if you like snow and skiing and other winter sports is a great place to be as well. We have plenty of wooded areas on long island as well so the autumn is always a beautiful time of year.
