I grew up in Manhasset, but my husband and I moved to the Village of Lloyd Harbor in 1995, and that is when I really began to understand the magic of coastal living. One thing that makes Lloyd Harbor unique is that it is a peninsula, with views of Lloyd Harbor, the Long Island Sound and Huntington Harbor wherever you turn. So whether or not you own a waterfront home, a water view is always just a few blocks away. The Village includes Lloyd Neck, the isthmus that connects Long Island and portions of the peninsula of Caumsett State Park, which formerly housed the estate of Marshall Field III.
I love living on the water, and I'm a boater, a water skier, a beach walker and a sun worshiper (though much more carefully, these days!) In the summer, my family spends lots of time down at the waterfront village park, enjoying the beach, tennis courts, and the community activities we attend there. Residents have mooring rights and access to the town boat ramp. Our kids attend the summer camp there. Most of all, I love the feeling of being among a group of people with a shared love of our little patch of paradise. It's what I really mean when I say I'm lucky to live here.
Many of the neighborhoods have their own private road associations (dues required) with beach and mooring rights, and some even have docks. Of course, Caumsett State Park is a major attraction, with trails for hiking, horseback riding, biking and walking, beaches, fishing and scuba diving. If you are a nature lover, there are numerous wildlife sanctuaries, excellent bird-watching. You can even learn wilderness survival.
The schools are excellent -- Lloyd Harbor and Lloyd Neck are entirely within the Cold Spring Harbor school district and all children attend Goosehill Elementary for kindergarten and first grade, Lloyd Harbor Elementary School for 2nd thru 6th grade, and Cold Spring Harbor junior and senior high school for grades 7-12.
Excellent town government has resulted in preserved land, good zoning and a private village police force. Lots are a minimum of 2-acres.
Commuters will find easy access to the Long Island Rail Road at either the Cold Spring Harbor or Huntington stations.
Lloyd Harbor is easy, elegant coastal living at its best.
