About Port Washington

Port Washington occupies Cow Neck, a peninsula reaching into Manhasset Bay, and is one of the few North Shore addresses with a real downtown on the water: Main Street runs down to the Town Dock, and the BayWalk links 1.7 miles of shoreline from Sunset Park to Manorhaven. Baxter Estates, Manorhaven, Port Washington North and Flower Hill share the ZIP and one school district, as does the incorporated village of Sands Point at the peninsula’s tip — a distinct market with its own page. The branch terminus puts Penn Station about 48 minutes off with no transfer — the longest ride on the line, and the only one that ends at a harbor.

This figure does not represent the share of homes or parcels at risk in Port Washington — only the share of FEMA-mapped area within a 2-mile radius of the town's page coordinates, not a property count or a town-wide figure; the flood zone of any single address, which must be confirmed against its own FIRM panel before pricing insurance; 21.4% open water within that radius — it counts toward the total this percentage is measured against and lowers it mechanically, not because the shoreline itself is lower risk.
