Getting to Know Lakeview
Lakeview is a residential hamlet on the east side of Hempstead Lake State Park, between West Hempstead, Malverne and Rockville Centre. Lakeview is an inland community, away from the open coast. Lakeview is an unincorporated hamlet, which the Census Bureau counts as a Census-designated place; building permits and inspections run through the Town of Hempstead. By Census Bureau measurements, the hamlet covers about 1 square miles of land plus 0.2 square miles of water.
Its neighbors include Hempstead Village, Lynbrook, Malverne, Malverne Park Oaks, Rockville Centre, South Hempstead and West Hempstead.
What Homes in Lakeview Are Like
Homes in Lakeview are largely postwar single-family houses that have been renovated in stages. Original galvanized or copper supply lines, older electrical panels and finished basements are common, and insurers frequently point to age and 'wear and tear' when one of those systems fails.
How Local Conditions Affect Lakeview Claims
For inland homes like those in Lakeview, interior water damage and fire are common sources of claims. Kitchen fires, electrical fires and oil-burner puffback can spread soot through the whole house, and insurers frequently offer cleaning where replacement is needed.
