North Merrick Homes for Rent

North Merrick, located in Long Island, is characterized by its quiet, grassy blocks and suburban subdivisions. The neighborhood features a mix of single-family home styles from the 1940s through the 1960s, including Minimal Traditional, bi-level, Colonial Revival, and ranch-style homes. Many of these homes have been renovated or replaced with larger New Traditional homes. North Merrick is known for its higher home values compared to neighboring Bellmore, particularly closer to the Meadowbrook State Parkway. The area has a crime rate lower than the national average.
