Bay Island

Bay Island puts the water at the center of everyday life. The neighborhood sits between Long Creek and Broad Bay in North Great Neck, connected to the mainland by West Great Neck Road. Canal settings, open-water frontage and interior homes give the island several ways to enjoy the same coastal surroundings.

Homes, yards & neighborhood life

Homes arranged around waterways and a boating-oriented setting give Bay Island its recognizable coastal identity. Nearby Shore Drive and Chic’s Beach—a favorite with locals—add Chesapeake Bay beaches, casual restaurants and places to meet friends. West Great Neck Road connects the island with those outings, everyday shopping and the rest of Great Neck.

Wider Great Neck market context: Andrew Christie’s July 2026 report lists 22 closed sales, a $826,564 average and a $741,000 median. These figures cover the broader Great Neck market, not a separate average for Bay Island or its waterfront homes. Read the dated market report.
