Baywood Homes for Rent

Baywood, a neighborhood in Long Island, emerged as a residential area post-World War II, attracting homebuyers with its affordable housing and spacious lots. The area is characterized by modest, single-family homes set back from the road, providing a sense of privacy and security. Housing prices are generally lower than coastal neighborhoods, with properties ranging from four-bedroom houses on quarter-acre lots to six-bedroom neo-colonial homes on nearly half an acre. Baywood is part of the Brentwood Union Free School District, with West Middle School receiving high ratings. The neighborhood lacks a downtown area, contributing to its quiet atmosphere, but residents have access to shopping and dining options in nearby towns. Tanger Outlets Deer Park, just half a mile east, features stores like Coach and Nike, and dining options such as Chipotle and Miller’s Ale House. For more upscale dining, Popei’s Clam Bar & Seafood House offers surf-and-turf cuisine. Local parks include Birchwood Park, Clarissa Drive Park, and Benton Park, each offering various recreational facilities. Edgewood Oak Brush Plains State Forest provides extensive trails for hiking and biking. Baywood is also close to Bay Shore, where residents can reach Robert Moses State Park beach or take a ferry to Fire Island. Additional local attractions include Heartland Golf Park and Sky Zone Trampoline Park. The neighborhood has a low crime risk compared to the national average, making it a peaceful place to live.
