About Lawrence
The Village of Lawrence is a Five Towns community of large homes and waterfront streets, many of which flooded during Sandy. Lawrence is on Long Island's South Shore, along Reynolds Channel and the Five Towns back bays. As an incorporated village, Lawrence has its own village government, and building permits and code enforcement usually run through the village rather than the Town of Hempstead. Census figures put Lawrence at roughly 3.72 square miles of land, with another 0.92 square miles of water inside its boundary.
Neighboring communities include Atlantic Beach, Cedarhurst, East Atlantic Beach, Inwood, City of Long Beach, Woodmere and Woodsburgh.
What Goes Wrong on Lawrence Claims
Homes near Reynolds Channel and the Five Towns back bays face storm surge during nor'easters and tropical storms. The wind-versus-water question decides which policy pays, which deductible applies (many Long Island policies carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible), and how much the homeowner recovers.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Lawrence home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
Homes in Lawrence
Many Lawrence properties are custom or estate homes with mature landscaping and multiple structures. Debris removal, tree removal and landscaping sublimits, and the cost of specialty trades, are where these claims frequently come up short.
