It's just a section.
but is it considered south merrick...I don't get it..I see houses listed on MLS as south merrick and then section Gables..so it's a section of south merrick? How is that section....
Sorry for the 8 thousand questions!!!!

Re: Ppl that know merrick
I grew up in Merrick, south of southern state and north of sunrise hwy. I honestly think you can't go wrong with any area/section in Merrick. It's a great town!

I grew up in Merrick and I would not consider that South Merrick. To me, anything South of Merrick Rd. is So. Merrick BUT those homes are gorgeous. Some of the ones on Wynsum are also beautiful.
There is no "better" Peninsula both have lots of stop signs!

those houses are also south of merrick road, that's why I was asking...we're looking at strictly south of merrick road but saw a colonial listed next to a house we saw (south of merrick road) listed as a gables colonial so it confused me...

Re: Ppl that know merrick
Yes Ok I thought you were talking mainly about the ones between Merrick & Sunrise Hway behind the stores on Merrick Rd. by La Piazza. That I wouldn't know...I had a few frinds who were living in the Gables Houses South of Merrick Rd. I can't help you there.
Did you search online?
I did find an association of Gables owners...perhaps you can email them and ask.

Is it east of Hewlett?
Are you looking south down on Halyard?

We saw a house on Lincoln we like and a couple on Wynsum all south of Merrick road...but not those style houses, I was just curious to know more about them..they just seem so random in the middle of splanches and high ranches

Interesting article here...
Taking a Tour Through Merrick's Unique Neighborhoods
Apparently that neighborhood was meant to mimic a "mini-hollywood" and named after Clark Gable

Re: Ppl that know merrick
I lived in Merrick from when I was 14 to right after i graduated college-- I thought that area was in b/t Merrick Rd and Sunrise?? I definitely went to a kep party or two over there, but i didn't have any firends that lived in those houses. That's not considered South Merrick though, it's Central.
Reading that article was interesting-- the homes along Lindenmere are really pretty, with beautiful tree lined streets-- again, central Merrick.
There is such an eclectic mix of houses in the town- never really thought about that before!

Re: Ppl that know merrick
I looked at a house in the gables. needed alot of work, a lot! very cute inside, but all original and not really what we needed. 2 bedroom, 1 bath, weird backyard size and access. nice area though, we just got more for our money elsewhere.
