Hewlett Bay Park has convenience, views and friendly neighbors
Hewlett Bay Park has a peaceful, friendly atmosphere with views of the Mary Channel and retail close to home. “The community to me is just really, really special,” says Sara Abikzer, a licensed real estate salesperson at Signature Premier Properties who has been living in the area surrounding the Hewlett villages for 27 years. “I just feel so close to people when I’m walking around, when I’m in the streets, any store that I walk into. It’s actually a very tight-knit community. You will know everyone when you live here.” In addition to the sense of belonging in the village, Hewlett Bay Park residents benefit from a mix of waterfront access and convenience to Hewlett. The neighboring hamlet is so close to Hewlett Bay Park that many residents can walk the handful of blocks from their homes to the shops and restaurants stretching along Broadway. “Everything’s kind of local and you can walk places, which is really nice,” Abikzer says.

Million dollar homes with large lots and, occasionally, water views
The approximately 147 homes and mansions in Hewlett Bay Park are large, luxurious and set back on sprawling parcels of landscaped and well-maintained land. Lot sizes often reach an acre and generally cap out at around 2 acres. Since the village’s eastern border follows along the Macy Channel, waterfront homes are abundant. Many residents’ backyards have swimming pools, and the homes without them almost always have enough space for new homeowners to add them if they’d like. “People want to move here from other areas and buy big properties where they can put pools and have outdoor living with huge lots and privacy,” Abikzer says.
According to Ronnie Gerber, a licensed real estate salesperson at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, home prices in the village get a running start at over $1 million and climb as high as $5 million. Abikzer and Gerber agree that even with these higher home prices, the market in Hewlett Bay Park is competitive. There is a lot of demand for homes in the village, but there isn’t much inventory to go around. This has created a strong seller’s market, and homes sell quickly when they’re priced well. “It’s really important to be prepared as a buyer, which means to be either pre-approved, have proof of funds, have a great Realtor that you’re working with that can help you through the process to get the job done seamlessly,” Abikzer says. Once you’ve secured a home in the neighborhood, though, its value is likely to only grow as time passes, especially if you maintain it well. “The homes have only been going up in value in the past few years and I definitely see them continuing that way,” Abikzer says.
Some residents of Hewlett Bay Park have taken down the original homes and are rebuilding larger.
Hewlett Bay Park is a close-knit community of about 150 homes.
