About Elmont
Elmont sits on the Queens border and is home to Belmont Park, with dense blocks of single-family homes on both sides of Hempstead Turnpike. Elmont is an inland community, away from the open coast. Elmont is a hamlet (a Census-designated place) governed directly by the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County. The Census Bureau measures Elmont at about 3.41 square miles of land.
Neighboring communities include Bellerose Terrace, Floral Park, Franklin Square, North Valley Stream, South Floral Park and Stewart Manor.
Housing and Claims in Elmont
Much of the housing here went up in the decades after World War II: Capes, ranches, split-levels and high-ranches, many expanded with dormers, second stories or rear additions. When an addition built in the 1980s meets an original 1950s framing system, adjusters often argue about where the damage started and how much of the home has to be opened up.
Storm, Water and Fire Risk in Elmont
For inland homes like those in Elmont, 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.
Elmont borders Queens, and we help homeowners on both sides of the city line. If you own property in Queens or elsewhere in New York City as well, we can review those claims too.
