Understand

This southern portion of the Town of Oyster Bay is very different from its northern half in terms of feel. Unlike North Oyster Bay (much of which feels very secluded and rural and is mostly hilly), South Oyster Bay is a dense, bustling suburban area, which is mostly flat (spare for much of the Plainview–Old Bethpage area). While the northern half of Oyster Bay only has a few communities with large, busy downtown areas (i.e., Oyster Bay hamlet and Sea Cliff), South Oyster Bay is packed with them (i.e., Farmingdale, Hicksville, Massapequa, and Massapequa Park).
