Bayfront Long Island living a few miles from Long Beach
The name Oceanside is a little misleading — this Long Island hamlet’s southern border touches the channels and coves of the South Shore’s bays, not the more distant waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Among mainland municipalities, however, there are none closer to the popular sandy beaches and shore-hugging boardwalk of Long Beach. “We’re a waterfront community with a large population of boaters and fishers, close proximity to the beach, great shopping and good schools,” says John Gandolfo, a licensed real estate associate broker at Coldwell Banker who has lived in Oceanside for 20 years. “The bang for your buck is in a league of its own in Oceanside. There’s a camaraderie here you don’t get everywhere. In some other neighborhoods, people won’t even wave to you.” On afternoons walking among the crowds of weekend shoppers and during quieter evenings spent looking across salt marshes at sunset, residents of Oceanside find a balance between the conveniences of a modern Long Island suburb and the easygoing tides of the Western Bays.
Boats on private backyard docks are a common sight throughout Oceanside.

Commuting to New York City and managing Long Beach Road traffic
Oceanside enjoys its own business district, as evidenced by the many members of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. As is the case for much of Long Island, however, many of those living in Oceanside work in New York City. Commuters can access the Long Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road from both the Oceanside and East Rockaway stations, providing a roughly 45-minute journey to Penn Station. Those driving into Manhattan head north to east-west connectors like the Southern State Parkway along the 30-mile ride into the city. Some may walk or take a Nassau Inter-County Express bus to closer commuter hubs like Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital, sitting toward the north of the hamlet. John F. Kennedy International Airport is about 10 miles away.
The only road leading directly to Long Beach, appropriately named Long Beach Road, runs through Oceanside’s busy strip mall district, making it prone to traffic. Gandolfo has a suggestion: “Oceanside Road runs parallel — the beauty of that is you can avoid the commercial and Long Beach traffic if you’re just going somewhere local.”
Single-family homes on Oceanside’s waterways and residential blocks
Long, sidewalk-lined blocks organize Oceanside’s suburban residential streets. Private docks line the streams and channels that creep in from the southern half of the hamlet, taking boaters on a different route through and around their neighborhood. Small single-family homes built from the 1920s through 1950s, like simple coastal cottages and ranch-style homes, are common, as are larger split-levels, colonials and custom-built homes built in the 1950s through 1980s. Condos in a few townhouse-style complexes collect along waterways and near Long Island Rail Road stations. Oceanside’s median single-family home price is $720,000, higher than the national median of $418,700 reported by the National Association of Realtors.
Sidewalks and well-manicured lawns are found on all of the streets of Oceanside.

Boating and South Shore beaches, birding at Oceanside’s salt marshes
Countless backyard docks line the banks of Oceanside’s waterways, marking the hamlet as a boating community, as do businesses like Vella’s Marina & Boat Works that cater to landlocked boat owners. “Half the kids in our neighborhood will know the water like the back of their hands by the time they’re 14,” Gandolfo says. “I know one who takes off in his dad’s boat and will come back with a 400-pound tuna.” For those wanting to spend a day on the sand rather than out on the water, South Shore beaches, a boardwalk and the vast blue of the Atlantic Ocean are a few miles south in Long Beach.
Even Oceanside’s land-based recreation takes advantage of bayfront views, including Oceanside Park. Its paved walking path loops along the waterfront, heading back inland toward a playground, a street-hockey rink and the Town of Hempstead’s public swimming pool. Just east across a narrow waterway, birders stroll along boardwalks over salt marshes at the Marine Nature Study Area, keeping an eye out for ospreys and hummingbirds. Nearby, golfers tee off at The Golf Club at Middle Bay.

Shopping and dining on Long Beach Road
Long Beach Road is a bustling collection of big-box storefronts, older commercial buildings and strip malls. Big names like Trader Joe’s and Costco draw motorists off the road and into shopping center parking lots. Alongside plenty of popular chains, local restaurants curate distinctive menus and ambiance. Ben’s Crab Oceanside specializes in Cajun crawfish boils and fresh seafood, while EGP Oceanside serves gastropub fare indoors and out on the patio.

Oceanside Memorial Day Parade and St. Anthony’s Parish Feast
Marching bands, VFW members and local fire companies file through Oceanside during the annual Memorial Day Parade, passing neighbors gathered on streets leading to the war memorial at Oceanside High School. “The entire community grabs lawn chairs and goes to various parking lots or parks along the streets to watch the parade,” Gandolfo says. “The people at Sons of a Butcher will bring out a little platter and give free slices of hero to the people nearby. It’s a great thing.” Diverse houses of worship hold services throughout Oceanside, including Temple Avodah and Apostolic Faith Church. Beyond regular worship, St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church also hosts the St. Anthony’s Parish Feast for a few days each summer, drawing massive crowds to enjoy carnival games, rides and fried fair food at the parish’s largest annual fundraiser.
