Bayville is a small beach town facing the Long Island Sound, west of Centre Island, east of Lattingtown and north of Mill Neck across the Bayville bridge. Bayville has grown from a summer community with transient residents to year-round residents. Residents of Bayville love their town because of its small town community atmosphere, close to the beach, beautiful sunsets , plenty of restaurants and no fast food restaurants. In the summer time, it's so pleasant to go to an Oyster Bar near the Bayville Bridge.
Along Bayville Ave, the main thoroughfare, are private roads to the north to Long Island Sound side of town, to the south to Mill Neck creek. These roads are maintained by the homeowner associations. The village zoning does not allow condominiums, co-ops or apartment buildings. There are house summer rentals and winter rentals as well.
People who came to visit here realized it is nice place to live and decided to live in Bayville year round. Bayville used to be a resort town but not anymore. Years ago, the population was so small they had no mail delivery. Residents went to the post office and picked up their mail There, you met lots of people until they got mail delivery in 1960. With the exception of housing growth, Bayville has maintained its small town community atmosphere. People are friendly, helpful and more relaxed. Those who have lived in Bayville will never want to live anywhere else because their current residence now is so close to the water. However, there is a trade off. Bayville has no public transportation and the nearest train station is 10 minutes drive to Locust Valley or even farther to Syosset where there are plenty of trains.
If you love the water, it is a short distance to the beach. There is a nice park nearby. You can also go fishing at the beach near the entrance to Centre Island, a millionaire community where Billy Joel and Rupert Murdoch live. The public beach is right across the restaurant row. Bayville has the famous Firemen's Haunted House and the Bayville Scream Park and they are great attractions during the month of Octoboer especially during the Halloween Week.
Bayville has its own library but shares the school system with Locust Valley district. It has its own fire department. Residents from Centre Island shop in Bayville. Topography of Bayville is mixed with some flat lands, beach properties and some areas have slopes so there are plenty of choices.
Last year, on May 23, 2009 the Incorporated Village of Bayville celebrated its 90th Anniversary with an entire day of activities from a 5K Run to a ceremony on the Village Green to a Field Day at West Harbor Beach to an evening picnic and concert. New York Senator Marcellino presented Bayville Mayor Victoria Siegel with a resolution passed in the New York State Senate declaring Bayville, NY "one of the finest places to live in New York State".
