It is located at Jackson Avenue and Underhill Boulevard, south of New York State Route 25A, but north of Jericho Turnpike and the Long Island Expressway.

[3] The station is also served by Nassau Inter-County Express's NICE Mini On-Demand Syosset Zone, Weekdays from 6 AM to 6 PM.

[10] The master-plan includes suggestions such as removing the grade crossing at Jackson Avenue, creating a pedestrian plaza by eliminating road traffic on a portion of Cold Spring Road, parking reconfiguration, and the building of a community center as ways of focusing growth in the downtown area and reducing unnecessary trips by car.

The LIRR has also added platform conductors to monitor train boarding, instruct crews to announce the gap at the station, and assist passengers.

[11][12] Further improvements, including changing railroad operation standards and the viable use of retractable gap fillers (such as those used in a few New York City Subway stations) were examined.

The Town of Oyster Bay, which at the time controlled the Landia station site, gathered information before determining whether to ask the LIRR to conduct a study.
