A friendly community near the water
Just a few miles from the South Shore, Baldwin is a typical Long Island hamlet in many ways. Its quiet suburban streets are lined with sidewalks, and residents get more yard space than they would a few miles to the west in Queens, but Manhattan isn’t too far — about 34 miles. The water is a short drive or bike ride away, allowing residents to balance waterfront hobbies with a decent commute. For those who live there, its welcoming community is another major plus. “My neighbors are the best people in the world, some of my neighbors are my best friends,” 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. “They’ll take my garbage cans in if I forget them, and I’ll take theirs in — that kind of thing. There’s some neighborhoods where people don’t talk to each other, but not us.”

Fixer-uppers starting at $550,000
Home styles are incredibly varied in Baldwin; Cape Cods and colonials are common, just like on the rest of Long Island, but Tudors are also easy to find here. “Besides new constructions, we have the split-levels and splanches, but we have many, many older homes like the Tudors and Craftsman-style homes that attract a lot of buyers,” says Frank Pignataro, a Baldwin native as well as the real estate broker at Sailing Home Realty with 29 years of experience selling homes here. Fixer-uppers start as low as $550,000, and most homes max out at around $850,000. A handful of newly built houses may near or break just past $1 million. The CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
Colonial Revivals are among the most common home style in Baldwin.
Tudor style homes are very popular in Baldwin.

Highly rated Baldwin schools
The Baldwin Union Free School District gets an A-minus from Niche, serving as a major draw to the neighborhood. Children can attend one of five elementary schools, like Brookside Elementary School, before moving on to Baldwin Middle School and Baldwin High School. All three schools earn an A-minus, and Baldwin High has specialized learning spaces such as a courtroom and a medical lab for hands-on experience; it also offers extensive academic programs, including AP and dual enrollment options.
Brookside Elementary School is a highly-rated public school located in Baldwin.
The entrance to Baldwin Middle School is set back off the roadway.

Major highways, LIRR station and nearby hospitals
Sunrise Highway and Southern State Parkway both run through Baldwin, making it easy to explore the island by car. But for many, its most important feature is its Long Island Rail Road Station. “The Long Island Rail Road runs basically right through the middle of Baldwin,” Conforti says. “So it’s a nice, easy commute.” From Baldwin Station, it takes about 45 minutes to reach Manhattan’s Penn Station. Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital and Mercy Hospital are both just over 2 miles away, and John F. Kennedy International Airport is 13 miles away.
The nearby Southern State Parkway helps Baldwin residents travel around Long Island.
Sunrise Highway is a main throughfare funning through Baldwin.

Smaller local parks in Baldwin, nearby Baldwin Park
Coes Neck Park features two playgrounds, a play area with sprinklers during the hot summer months and basketball and tennis courts. Silver Lake Park and Milburn Creek Park are favorite spots for daily walks and runs near the water, but Milburn Creek Park also offers a boat launch. The area’s most iconic park, though, is Baldwin Park, which is 3 miles away in Baldwin Harbor. The huge waterfront park features a skate park, athletic spaces and a dog run. Baldwin and Baldwin Harbor often function as the same community, so Conforti says people who live in Baldwin also attend community events in this waterfront park. Spending a day swimming in the Atlantic Ocean is also easy, with Long Beach just 7 miles away and Jones Beach 10 miles away.
Millburn Creek is a great place to take a stroll along the water in Baldwin.

Local restaurants alongside major retailers
Grand Avenue, Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway are home to most of Baldwin’s shops and restaurants. Novi Restaurant is one of Baldwin’s most recognizable spots. Pignataro says that the name stands for New Old Venice Inn, a nod to the restaurant’s previous name. “That’s been a local staple here for a long time,” he says. Nearby, Kitty O’Hara’s has a classic pub atmosphere and live music on the weekends, and Viva Tulum is the go-to for tacos. Baldwin has local businesses along Merrick Road, including boutiques and a tattoo parlor, but there are also a few major retailers like Petco and Best Buy. For groceries, residents can head to Stop & Shop, Ideal Food Basket of Baldwin, GalaFresh Farms or SuperFresh Baldwin.
Kitty O'Hara's is an old-time neighbhood Irish bar serving the residents of Baldwin.

Grand Baldwin Festival, tree lighting ceremony
Baldwin is generally a quiet suburb, but every year, residents gather for the Grand Baldwin Festival. Held during the fall in the parking lot behind the Baldwin Public Library, the festival features a marketplace with local vendors selling art, locally grown or produced food. It also includes an art showcase, live music and activities for all ages. According to Pignataro, the Baldwin Chamber of Commerce also hosts an annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in early December. The event features pony rides, a visit from Santa riding on a firetruck and performances from local kids.
