Suburban vibe with essentials within walking distance
Once a farming town, Albertson is now a little suburb tucked near Roslyn Heights, Herricks and Williston Park, keeping residents close to an abundance of parks, local restaurants, shopping and more. Even within the little hamlet itself, convenience is the name of the game. “I can walk to the supermarket from my house. I can walk to the railroad from my house. The post office is close by. So it has everything,” says Nina Jean Harris, a licensed real estate salesperson at Signature Premier Properties who has lived here for 32 years and has 15 years of experience selling homes.
Capes and expanded capes make up the selection of homes on this particular street.

Fixer-upper Cape Cods starting at $675,000
Sidewalks line both sides of Albertson’s residential streets, further helping to unlock the community's convenience by making going for a daily run or walking to the store safer easier. Thanks to decades of homes being expanded or rebuilt, home styles vary here but include many Cape Cods, ranch-style homes and colonials, all typically built between the 1940s and 1960s, among more recently built new traditional homes. “The colonials, the capes and the expanded capes make up more than 50% of those home sales,” says Andréa Sorrentino, an associate real estate broker with Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Through the center column of the hamlet, which is shaped like an upside-down T, homes can dip as low as $675,000 for a four-bedroom fixer-upper and climb to $1 million for an updated home. The eastern and western arms of the community have higher home costs, typically falling between $950,000 and $1.6 million. New homes — which are rare on the market given how developed the area is — can cost as much as $2.3 million. “It’s anywhere from starter homes to big mansions,” Harris says. “So the homes are very diverse, but what they’re doing is they’re taking the starter homes, like the Capes, and they’re actually knocking them down and putting up big homes.” The CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Music education at Herricks schools
Albertson is split among three school districts. The Mineola Union Free School District has an A from Niche, while Herricks Union Free School District and East Williston Union Free School District each have an A-plus. Children who attend Herricks schools can attend Searingtown School, Herricks Middle School and Herricks High School, which each have an A-plus. The district is known for its music programs, making the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation’s list of America’s best communities for music education in 2023 and 2024. “When my daughter went there, she played three instruments,” Harris says. “They’re very well-known for the arts. Every year, they play at Carnegie Hall.”
There are a few private options just outside the hamlet, including St. Aidan School and the Henry Viscardi School, which is supported by the state and teaches children with severe physical disabilities from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Neither private school has ratings on Niche or GreatSchools.

Major highways, LIRR, major hospitals nearby
The Northern State Parkway makes up Albertson’s northern border, but access to Interstate 495 and Hillside Avenue are also just a few minutes away. Bus stops are along Willis Avenue, which serves as the community's main thoroughfare, and there’s a bus that takes passengers to Queens. Albertson Station on the Long Island Rail Road brings commuters to Manhattan’s Penn Station in just under an hour. Many major hospitals are nearby, drawing nurses, doctors and others in the medical field to the area. NYU Langone is less than 3 miles away, while the Long Island Jewish Medical Center Northwell, which also contains the Cohen Children’s Medical Hospital alongside other specialized centers, North Shore University Hospital and St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center are all within 5 miles and a 15-minute drive away. “People move to areas just to be close to a hospital,” Harris says. John F. Kennedy International Airport is 15 miles away.
Athletic spaces at Caemmerer Park
John D. Caemmerer Park offers a popular playground and tennis courts as well as a basketball court, and its baseball fields often host local games and practices. Just outside the community, the Clark Botanic Gardens are a favorite spot for daily walks thanks to its beautiful grounds and free admission. On a hot day, Roger Fay Williston Park Pool is another popular spot about a mile from home, offering a pool with a little water slide for the kids alongside a playground and a few athletic spaces. Christopher Morley Park is another favorite spot just 3 miles away. “There’s a dog run, and they have an ice skating rink now,” Harris says. “They have two swimming pools, they have a nice playground.” Bar Beach on the North Shore is also just under 6 miles away.
John Caemmerer Park located in Albertson offers Searingtown residents a lush green field and playground for children.

Shopping and dining along Willis Avenue
Most of Albertson’s handful of shops and restaurants are located along Willis Avenue, which is within walking distance for many residents. Italian food is particularly plentiful. The family-owned da-Angelo Pizzeria & Ristorante has a menu ranging from the rectangular “grandma pizza” to chicken rolls and paninis, while 388 is well-known throughout the area for sit-down dinners of classic Italian dishes. Food Court Korea is also popular for bulgogi and Korean fried chicken and GrillMark offers gyros, kebabs and burgers. Local businesses, from veterinary hospitals to barbers and florists, also line the street. The Food Emporium offers groceries alongside Basil and Prime, a gourmet Italian market.
Since Albertson is surrounded by so many popular villages with little downtowns full of shopping and dining, more options are never far away. “You can go to Garden City; you can go to Roslyn,” Harris says. “We have good restaurants in parts of Williston Park and Albertson and Roslyn Heights. Dining is important. We’re foodie people. Who wants to eat the same thing all the time? Not me.” Shopping is just as varied. The popular Roosevelt Field Mall and The Gallery at Westbury Plaza are right next to each other just 5 miles away, offering practically anything residents could want to shop for, and the high-end shops at Americana Manhasset are just over 3 miles away.

Clark Botanical Gardens hold events throughout the year
The nearby Clark Botanical Gardens hosts events throughout the year, including a Spooky Walk. The Halloween event features music and food, and actors in costumes wander the trails to scare visitors. “And then during the summer, they have bands play at the gardens, too,” Harris says. “From my house, I can actually sit in the backyard and listen to the music.” In September, the nearby Williston Day Street Fair often draws thousands to explore and enjoy its local vendors, carnival rides, food trucks, live music and more.
