The unincorporated community of Woodmere is the largest in the Five Towns area, offering a bustling business district around Broadway.  In addition to excellent public schools, Woodmere is home to the respected private school of Lawrence Woodmere Academy.  This area attracts many families who are committed to strong community connections.  Fine dining, shopping, and private clubs add to the quality of life.  From its roots as a resort of choice for wealthy New Yorkers, the area emerged as an exclusive suburb with a sense of rustic charm in close proximity to the city and white-sand beaches.
