Lloyd Harbor Village covers 9.2 square miles and in area is the second largest incorporated Village in New York; however, with a population of approximately 3,400 (same as in 1970), it is one of the most sparsely populated.  The Village includes Lloyd Neck and the northern portion of the West Neck peninsula.  It is a blend of colonial manor, Gold Coast estate, small rural residential community, and suburb.  Despite the fact that some more recently developed streets have a suburban feel, rustic dead-end streets still outnumber manicured subdivisions.

The Village has a rich history and has succeeded in preserving much of the rustic ambience for which it has always been known.  By understanding the efforts that have been made in the interest of preserving the natural beauty and quiet privacy of our Village, we hope that you, too, will become a strong supporter of preservation of these assets, and of the low housing density needed to sustain them.  In so doing, we will leave an invaluable legacy as to how preservation can be achieved and sustained despite proximity to a major metropolitan area.
