Single-family homes in the North Bellmore Union Free School District sold for a median of $830,000 (typically $750,000–$915,000) across 151 recorded sales between Oct 8, 2025 and Oct 1, 2026, up 6.4% on the 12 months before. This home's $659,990 list price sits in the entry single-family tier for the North Bellmore Union Free School District.

ZIP 11566 has about 2.6 months of single family inventory — seller's market. Demand is outpacing supply, so homes sell quickly with firm pricing and limited room to negotiate.

At about $12,433 a year, this home's property tax is in line with the roughly $13,000 typical for North Bellmore Union Free School District. Nassau assessments run on a multi-year cycle, so the assessed value behind this bill can lag what the home actually sells for today. A sale does not automatically reset it, and exemptions such as STAR, Senior or Veteran move the number as well — a new owner's bill is often not the same as the seller's.
