South Shore suburb on the edge of Nassau County
The Massapequas are typically defined as the long-established South Shore suburbs of Massapequa Park and Massapequa proper. East Massapequa, despite its lower profile and position on the edge of Nassau County, remains central to life in The Massapequas thanks to a bevy of Town of Oyster Bay parks, shopping centers and community events. “We’d almost call East Massapequa Amityville, some of it is zoned for Amityville schools,” says Dame Cascone, a Realtor at Century 21 AA Realty with nearly a decade of experience in the South Shore market. “Especially on Long Island, behind towns, the second most important thing is school district.” At the borders of three school districts and extending from the ever-flowing traffic of the Southern State Parkway to the tranquil waters of South Oyster Bay, East Massapequa offers the opportunity for homebuyers to pick an address close to the suburban and coastal amenities that matter most to them.
Nearly 20,000 residents have found their forever home in East Massapequa.
Many East Massapequa residents enjoy unfettered access to South Oyster Bay.

Recreation in South Oyster Bay and at Oyster Bay parks
South Oyster Bay stretches from East Massapequa’s southern canals toward open water, salt marsh hassocks and Tobay Beach, giving anglers and boaters with backyard docks access to the many destinations of the South Shore. Those without private docks can head to the ramp at John J. Burns Park, better known as a hub for Massapequa Mustangs youth football and Little League games, playground equipment, pickleball courts and a concert-ready bandshell. Marjorie R. Post Community Park is nearby, full of all-season amenities like tennis and basketball courts as well as a swimming pool that opens for the warmer months and an ice-skating rink that opens through the winter. The stadium lights at Field of Dreams Park often illuminate evening football, soccer and lacrosse practices on turf fields connected by paved walking paths. Golfers pay to play nine-hole games at Peninsula Golf Club. Off-leash areas for large and small dogs are the draw to the Town of Oyster Bay Dog Park.

Single-family homes on canals and quiet blocks in East Massapequa
Waves of construction from the prewar era through today bring a mix of styles, sizes and price ranges to East Massapequa’s tightly packed, suburban blocks. “Most homes were built in the 50s and 60s, but you see older homes built in the 1920s from when people in the city came out to little summer houses. Down Clocks Boulevard by the water, they still have gorgeous turn-of-the-century homes for people who are into restoration. Bob Vila kinds of projects,” Cascone says. Smaller, older homes like Cape Cods, split-levels and ranch-style homes sell for $500,000 to $950,000. Larger homes, like 1980s colonials and New Traditional homes built over the past 20 years, sell for $725,000 to $1.5 million, though especially large waterfront homes can sell for up to $2.5 million. Homes with backyard docks floating on South Oyster Bay or narrow, inland-creeping canals tend to command higher prices, but small, fixer-upper cottages selling for less than $500,000 can stand down the sidewalk and across the water from multimillion-dollar properties.

Shopping and dining on Sunrise Highway and Merrick Road
Along Sunrise Highway, strip malls frame busy parking lots, advertising tenants like Whole Foods, T.J. Maxx, Barnes & Noble and ShopRite on towering shopping center signs. Across the highway, Sunrise Mall is closed for business except for a Macy’s and Dick’s as property owners make plans to redevelop the retail space. Further south, Merrick Road is lined by businesses ranging from Lidl and Dunkin’ to locally owned restaurants. Salumi is a favorite for tapas and wine, while Nautilus Diner is known for serving an expansive menu, including egg platters, seafood dinners and ice cream sundaes, from early in the morning to late at night. Houses of worship can be found throughout the hamlet, from churches like Our Lady of Lourdes to Temple Sinai of Massapequa.
