OVER THE FENCE
What Long Island neighbors are talking about.
Long Island homes, neighborhoods, people, life
Latest stories
From across the fence
Reporting from Nassau and Suffolk, written for the people who live here.
From the editors
Over The Fence is a new publication and our first stories are still being reported. When they are ready, you will find them right here: real pieces about the towns, blocks, and people of Long Island. Nothing filler, nothing fake.
Neighborhoods
Your town, your neighbors
Hamlets, villages, and the two cities of Nassau. The character of each place, from the people who know it best.
From the editors
Neighborhood profiles and community stories are in the works. We will cover places as they deserve to be covered: by talking to the people who actually live there.
Home and ownership
The practical side of home
Maintenance that saves money, town deadlines worth circling, and plain English answers to homeowner questions.
From the editors
Guides on owning and renting on Long Island are being prepared. Members get town specific deadlines, like tax grievance windows, inside the portal.
Local recommendations
Places worth knowing
Restaurants, shops, and local pros. No business ever pays to be listed or covered here. If that ever changes, we will say so, clearly.
From the editors
Our first local recommendations are being gathered the honest way: by asking neighbors. Nothing will appear here until it is real.
Real estate and market
The market, in plain English
What is selling, where rates sit, and what it means for your block. One section of this publication, not its reason for existing.
From the editors
Market coverage starts soon. Members can already see their own numbers, including an informational estimate that is not an appraisal, inside the portal.
