Waterfront community with great outdoor spaces
Commanding a prime location at the water’s edge with canals cutting through, Baldwin Harbor is known for its waterfront homes and tight-knit community of active residents. “It’s an unbelievable location, minutes to the Long Island Railroad and beaches and shopping,” says Erik Mahler, a broker at Mahler Realty. “There’s a beautiful 400-acre park in Baldwin Harbor. There’s access to the waterfront as well, an open bay, boating and fishing.” Often considered part of nearby Baldwin, Baldwin Harbor residents are closer to the water than their Baldwin neighbors, but they’re a little farther away from shopping and dining. The difference isn’t big, though, as it’s still a mile or less to some of Baldwin’s shops for most residents. These nearby shops and restaurants ensure that there’s plenty to do when residents’ feet are planted firmly on land, too.
Boating and fishing in Middle Bay, sports at Baldwin Park
With water in almost every direction, activities like boating, kayaking, swimming and fishing play an essential part of life and recreation in Baldwin Harbor. “We have great waterways if you’re a boater,” says Paul Conforti, a licensed associate broker at Douglas Elliman who has lived in Baldwin for 38 years and has sold homes here for about 20 years. The massive waterfront Baldwin Park is a focal point for residents of both Baldwin Harbor and Baldwin, who enjoy its playground, skate park, abundance of sports areas, dog run and more. “It has soccer fields, tennis fields, pickleball, baseball fields, several miles of walking trails through the woods and fields,” Mahler says. Its waterfront position also makes it a prime spot to enjoy views of the bay. Spending the day swimming in the Atlantic Ocean or relaxing in the sand is also easy, as Long Beach is only about 6 miles away and Jones Beach is about 10 miles away.
Homes with private boat slips on the canal
Between the water surrounding the neighborhood and the canals cutting through it, Baldwin Harbor has an abundance of waterfront homes. A network of well-maintained sidewalks makes it incredibly walkable, and many homes have sizeable backyards. Waterfront homes often have small private docks where homeowners can launch kayaks and dock small boats. “There’s a huge diversity of types of neighborhoods within Baldwin Harbor,” Mahler says. “You have homes built before World War II as well as homes built after World War II. There’s a distinct line. Along with several pocket communities such as Bay Colony, which is a very exclusive peninsula of beautiful high-end homes. The varieties of homes are just every type of style you could imagine.” Hi-ranches are particularly common, as are Cape Cods and new traditionals. Tudors aren’t as common as they are in nearby Baldwin, but there are a few. Fixer-uppers can drop as low as $550,000 and inland homes usually max out at around $950,000. Waterfront homes can climb to about $2 million. The CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
Hurricane season in a coastal hamlet
As a coastal hamlet on Long Island, hurricane season can impact Baldwin Harbor. When it does, there’s a moderate risk of flooding and a severe risk of high winds.
Grand Baldwin Festival, meeting Santa at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony
The Grand Baldwin Festival is the biggest annual event for both Baldwin and Baldwin Harbor. It features a marketplace full of local vendors, artists working on paintings in front of tents full of their wares and live music. There’s also a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in early December, complete with a visit from Santa on a fire truck for young children.
Dinner and live music on the water, more options in Baldwin
Perched on one of Baldwin Harbor’s many canals, Sonny’s Canal House is the neighborhood’s only restaurant. “Sonny’s Canal House has live music,” Conforti says. “It’s all brand new, it’s beautiful. They have live bands Friday and Saturday.” This makes it a favorite spot for friends to meet up for drinks. When residents want more options, though, they don’t have to go far; nearby Baldwin has plenty of restaurants. Novi Restaurant has served Italian classics since 1937, and No Good Burger Joint has huge burgers, wings and milkshakes. Kitty O’Hara’s is another popular spot for drinks and live music in a laid-back atmosphere. Baldwin also has local shops, a few major retailers like Petco and Best Buy and four major grocery stores, including Stop & Shop and GalaFresh Farms.
Hands-on experience at Baldwin High
The Baldwin Union Free School District, which gets an A-minus from Niche, serves as a draw for the neighborhood. Children can attend Meadow Elementary School, before moving on to Baldwin Middle School and Baldwin High School. All three schools get A-minuses. Baldwin High gives students hands-on learning experiences in specialized spaces like a courtroom and medical lab.
Highways and Baldwin LIRR station a few miles away
No highways run directly through Baldwin Harbor; Atlantic Avenue is its biggest road, and even that forms its northern border. This keeps its streets quieter and more residential, but Sunrise Highway is just over 2 miles away. Also about 2 miles away, The Long Island Rail Road’s train takes commuters to Pennsylvania Station in just 45 minutes. Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital is 3 miles away, and John F. Kennedy International Airport is 16 miles away.
