The Westbury Post Office at 360 MAPLE AVENUE serves a diverse and dynamic segment of Westbury, encompassing residents from the core village area to sections bordering Salisbury and even New Cassel. This facility is strategically positioned on Maple Avenue, a primary east-west artery through Westbury, making it a convenient stop for daily commuters and local families alike. The location, just a few blocks east of the bustling Post Avenue commercial district and a short drive west of the prominent Old Westbury Gardens entrance, positions it at a nexus of residential and semi-commercial activity. For decades, this Post Office has functioned as the primary passport application acceptance facility for many in zip codes 11590 and adjacent areas. Its appeal extends to students attending Nassau Community College or NYIT Old Westbury, who find its extended weekday hours particularly accommodating for securing their travel documents before international study programs or vacations. Likewise, professionals commuting via the nearby Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Westbury station often utilize the passport services here, valuing the ability to handle their affairs close to their daily routes.
This particular Westbury Post Office is not just a point of service; it’s an institution within the community fabric. It stands as a red-brick edifice, reflecting a sturdy, functional architectural style common for federal buildings established in the mid-20th century, particularly the 1950s or 1960s, designed to withstand the test of time and heavy public use. The building itself is notable for its substantial construction, featuring large, classic arched windows on its façade, allowing ample natural light into the main lobby, a detail often overlooked but appreciated by those waiting. It sits on a spacious plot, affording it a dedicated parking lot, a significant advantage in an area where on-street parking can be competitive. Across Maple Avenue, within a stone’s throw, one finds the vibrant Westbury Public Library at 445 Jericho Turnpike, a frequent destination for families and students, making a combined trip for errands quite feasible. Two blocks west, at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Post Avenue, a key crossroads, you’ll encounter local businesses such as Westbury Hardware and the popular La Pica Latina restaurant, illustrating the dense local economy it supports and serves.
Historically, the establishment of the Westbury Post Office on Maple Avenue marked a period of significant growth for the village in the post-war era, as suburbanization dramatically increased the local population and demand for federal services. Before its current incarnation, postal services in Westbury might have been housed in smaller, less centralized locations, reflecting a village with a more agricultural past, rooted in horse racing and farming estates. The transition to this purpose-built facility underscored Westbury’s emergence as a significant residential and commercial hub in Nassau County. Families from neighborhoods like Country Life Press and the residents around Clarke High School in Salisbury Park rely heavily on this location for both standard postal services and their critical passport needs. The demographic it caters to is broad: from young families applying for their infant’s first passport before a Disney cruise, to older residents renewing decades-old documents for international travel to visit relatives or embark on retirement tours. The specific staff dedicated to passport acceptance often have years of experience, a characteristic that lends a level of efficiency and nuanced understanding to the application process that is highly valued by repeat customers. The facility’s commitment to accommodating the community’s diverse needs, including accessible entryways and clear signage, further solidifies its reputation as a reliable and user-friendly government service point for passport applications. With the increasing global connectivity of Westbury’s residents, the demand for timely and accurate passport services continues to grow, and this Post Office consistently rises to meet that challenge, solidifying its role as an indispensable resource. The presence of Roger’s Playfield just three blocks south on Rockland Street offers a distinct local marker, often used by residents to orient themselves when navigating to the facility. This confluence of community resources, residential areas, and commercial services underscores the Post Office’s central role in daily life here. Its operational efficiency, coupled with a well-maintained facility, ensures that the Westbury Post Office remains a cornerstone for residents preparing for international travel.

Located at WESTBURY POST OFFICE at 360 MAPLE AVENUE. Easy access from major highways.
Parking for your passport appointment at the Westbury Post Office on 360 Maple Avenue is generally straightforward, offering a crucial convenience for applicants. The facility features a dedicated, free customer parking lot directly adjacent to the building on its east side, accessible via a driveway just past the main entrance on Maple Avenue. This lot is a substantial 47-space paved area, providing ample parking even during peak mail service hours. We highly recommend utilizing this dedicated lot, especially if you have an appointment, as it typically has available spaces. For those instances where the main lot might be full, which is rare but can occur during the midday rush between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, supplementary street parking is available on both Maple Avenue and nearby Ellison Avenue. Maple Avenue offers metered street parking, typically enforced Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with rates around $0.75 per 15 minutes, payable by coin or the Passport Parking app. Ellison Avenue, running north-south just one block west of the Post Office, often has unmetered street parking spots, though these require a short walk of about 0.1 miles (approximately 2 minutes). During winter months, especially after snowfalls, spaces in the dedicated lot are usually cleared promptly, but street parking can be limited due to snowbanks or ice, so plan to arrive a few minutes earlier. Conversely, in summer, the paved lot can become quite hot, so consider arriving hydrated. For optimal convenience, aim for the Post Office’s free lot first.
Reaching the Westbury Post Office at 360 Maple Avenue via public transit is quite feasible, primarily through Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) bus services and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). For bus riders, the NICE Bus N35 route, which runs between Roosevelt Field and Westbury/Farmingdale, has a stop at ‘Maple Ave & Ellison Ave,’ located just one block west of the Post Office. From this stop, simply walk east on Maple Avenue for approximately two minutes, and the Post Office will be on your left. The N35 operates with a frequency of about every 20-30 minutes on weekdays, and slightly less often on weekends. A single ride costs $2.75, payable with a MetroCard or exact change. Another option is the LIRR, with the Westbury station being the closest hub. Upon exiting the Westbury LIRR station on Post Avenue, you’ll walk north on Post Avenue for about three blocks until you reach Maple Avenue. Turn right onto Maple Avenue and continue east for roughly 0.4 miles, or about an 8-minute walk. The Post Office will be on your left-hand side. The LIRR service to Westbury is frequent during peak commuting hours, with trains every 10-15 minutes, and less frequent during off-peak times. Both the NICE bus system and the LIRR trains are wheelchair accessible, offering ramps on buses and accessible cars on trains, along with designated seating. The Westbury LIRR station features ramps and elevator access to platforms, ensuring a smooth journey for all passengers.
