Where Plandome Heights Sits
Plandome Heights is a small residential village above Manhasset Bay, between Manhasset and Plandome. Plandome Heights is on Long Island's North Shore, along Manhasset Bay. Plandome Heights is an incorporated village inside the Town of North Hempstead, so repair permits and inspections after a loss generally go through the village's own building department. The Census Bureau measures Plandome Heights at about 0.18 square miles of land.
Its neighbors include Flower Hill, Great Neck, Kings Point, Manhasset and Plandome.
How Local Conditions Affect Plandome Heights Claims
Storm surge and tidal flooding are the main threat for homes near Manhasset Bay. Standard homeowners policies exclude flood, so flood damage usually goes to a separate NFIP or private flood policy, while wind and wind-driven rain stay with the homeowners carrier. After a storm, expect the two insurers to argue over the line between them.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Plandome Heights home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
