Demographics and Values

Lynbrook is a fairly small town located within Nassau County on Long Island, and is considered a suburb of New York City. The town is far enough removed to have its own pace and personality, and close enough to the city to provide convenient access to the many amenities of a large metropolitan area. Lynbrook is very close to the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding area has an appropriately small town feel. Nassau County overall has a large population – about 1.4 million people – but this is spread out among very many individual towns. Politics are fairly moderate and can lean in either direction, but more often slightly left of center in larger elections. The economy of the surrounding area is mostly based in scientific research and engineering, information technology, and in line with much of the region’s history, fishing. Members of the LGBTQ+ community can expect tolerance in much of the surrounding area.

Arts, Culture, Entertainment, and Recreation

Lynbrook itself may be a fairly small town, but the surrounding area has plenty of activity. With downtown Manhattan being less than an hour away, you have pretty much every option at your fingertips. Closer to home, however, are plenty of things to do as well. During the summer months, the beach is a major attraction. Long Island has over 100 miles of ocean beach property, and the drive from Lynbrook to the south shore and the ocean is about a half hour or less. Directly south of town is one of the so-called “barrier islands,” home to Atlantic Beach, Jones Beach, and Lido Beach, a group of very popular summertime destinations. Jones Beach is also the site of a large-scale outdoor concert venue, hosting plenty of big name acts every year. Despite its northeastern location, Long Island’s shallow water gets remarkably warm, and the summer weather is reliably hot and sunny.

If you’ve had your fill of the beaches, Nassau County has its fair share of beautiful parks as well. Nearby Hempstead Lake State Park is a 737-acre expanse which includes the county’s largest freshwater lake. The park consists of hiking and bike paths, several fish ponds, shaded picnic areas, and more. In the winter months Hempstead Lake Park even offers ice skating and ice fishing! A short drive away in the town of Oyster Bay on Long Island’s “Gold Coast,” you can find the Planting Fields Arboretum, a world-renowned arboretum and state park which covers over 400 acres and features the historic Coe Hall mansion and museum. Planting Fields also hosts an annual summer concert series, often focusing on jazz. History buffs should take note that a short distance away is Sagamore Hill, the long-term home of former president Theodore Roosevelt, and the “Summer White House” during his time in office. Sagamore Hill now serves as a public museum dedicated to Roosevelt’s life. Remember, if you’re longing for the excitement of the big city, New York is a short train ride away.
