Bellmore is a bayside community where canal-lined blocks, commuter convenience, and local flavor come together. Set in Nassau County, it offers quick access to Merrick, Wantagh, and Freeport waterfronts, plus a direct ride to the city from the LIRR’s Bellmore Station. Merrick Road delivers indie eateries and the historic Bellmore Movies and Showplace. Each fall, the Bellmore Family Street Festival, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, draws food lovers, artisans, and families.
Families value the schools. Elementary students attend either the Bellmore Public Schools or the North Bellmore School District, then move into the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, home to Kennedy, Mepham, and Calhoun. Strong academics, deep arts, and competitive athletics make the district a regional standout.
Weekends revolve around parks and the water. At Town of Hempstead’s Newbridge Road Park, residents enjoy ballfields, pools, playgrounds, and an indoor ice arena. Trails and fishing await at Mill Pond and Wantagh Park, while ocean beaches and concerts are a quick drive to Jones Beach State Park. The Bellmore Memorial Library anchors community life with classes, author talks, and study spaces.
