Hamlet near Queens, JFK and the South Shore
In New York City’s five boroughs, single-family homes with space between neighbors are practically nonexistent. A desire for more space on private lots and in public community parks brings buyers out to the Five Towns, including the small hamlet of Hewlett. “You just get a very community feeling in Hewlett,” says Ronnie Gerber, a Realtor with Douglas Elliman who was born and raised in the Five Towns area. “There’s a lot of families moving from Queens and Brooklyn, and they’re coming here because they want a home with a backyard. Out on the fields at T-ball, baseball, soccer games – that's where you meet a lot of your neighbors. You make friends that way.” Hewlett brings Long Island suburbia within about 5 miles of Queens, South Shore beaches and John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Hewlett single-family homes from $500,000
While much of Hewlett is full of the midcentury Cape Cods, minimal traditional and ranch-style homes that became popular during Long Island’s suburbanization, prewar bungalows and simple two-story homes dominate some blocks while Colonial Revivals built in varying styles through the 1970s are common on other cul-de-sacs. “Hewlett has a typical suburban mix. Regular houses in good condition,” says Angela Bodizs, a real estate agent with Century 21 AA Realty who specializes throughout Nassau County. “Any fixer uppers, you don’t need to demolish the house, but you can put in a new kitchen and get the value back right away.” Smaller homes sell for $500,000 to $850,000. Larger homes sell for $900,000 to $1.7 million. Regardless of square footage and architectural styles, homes are connected by neat green lawns, narrow sidewalks and the shade of the occasional mature tree.
Split level homes can be found in Hewlett.

Attending Hewlett-Woodmere, Lynbrook or private schools
Most of Hewlett is zoned for the Hewlett-Woodmere Union Free School District, where all schools earn an A or higher from Niche. Kids will attend prekindergarten through first grade at Franklin Early Childhood Center and third through fifth grades at Hewlett Elementary School before moving on to Woodmere Middle School and George W. Hewlett High School. A small eastern portion of the hamlet is zoned for Lynbrook Union Free School District which earns an A-plus overall. Several private school options sit within and just outside of Hewlett, including Yeshiva of South Shore and Shulamith High School for Girls, two private Orthodox Jewish institutions that educate boys and girls respectively.
Hewlett Elementary School serves the local and surrounding areas,
Franklin Early Childhood Center in Woodmere has 422 students with a ratio of 10:1.

The Hewlett Long Island Rail Road Station and driving to JFK
Commuters head north toward the Southern State Parkway on the 25-mile drive to Manhattan. A few Nassau Inter-County Express bus routes pass through Hewlett on Broadway. Penn Station is a 45-minute train ride away from the Hewlett Long Island Rail Road Station. John F. Kennedy International Airport is a 6-mile drive away, and Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital is about 5 miles in the opposite direction.
Tennis and basketball at Grant Park
Groves of trees separate Grant Park from surrounding blocks and cul-de-sacs, a hub of season-spanning park amenities at the center of Hewlett’s community life. Athletes play on well-kept tennis and basketball courts near the three baseball diamonds where Hewlett-Woodmere Little League teams hold games and practices through the fall. As winter arrives, the park’s rink opens to ice skaters. Playgrounds sit between athletic facilities and along tree-shaded paths around Grant Pond, where ducks often explore banks that are open for fishing. Hewlett Harbor is Hewlett’s southern neighbor, home to The Seawane Club, where members can play racquet sports or play 18-hole games on a course that hugs South Shore canals. In the warmer months, Hewlett is a short drive from private and Town of Hempstead-operated barrier island beaches, both of which provide access to the ocean in Atlantic Beach about 5 miles away.

Shopping and dining on Broadway
Broadway is Hewlett’s main commercial thoroughfare, lined with strips of businesses that range from Orangetheory Fitness to banks to the South Shore Bicycle and Fitness shop. Fans of their specialty products head to Trader Joe’s, but King Kullen and Foodtown of Hewlett offer more options. Hasini Shel Broadway serves kosher Chinese menu items. Up Mill Road, diners grab a slice at Marinara Pizzeria & Restaurant or enjoy Asian fusion dishes and modern ambiance at MoCA Asian Bistro. Diverse houses of worship hold services throughout the hamlet, from the Islamic Center of Five Towns to Five Towns Catholic Parishes to Young Israel of Hewlett. Green Acres Mall and its surrounding strip malls are about 3 miles away, home to major retailers like Target, Walmart and Home Depot.

S.T.E.A.M. Festival draws thousands
Each spring, the Woodmere-Hewlett PTA shuts down a section of Broadway for the annual Arts Below Sunrise Hewlett-Woodmere Street S.T.E.A.M. Festival. Thousands browse the booths that line the road, offering a bevy of family-friendly hands-on games and activities. While vendors and nerd-friendly attractions vary from year to year, past attractions have included street chalk art displays, competitive chess and a visit from the original Batmobile.
JFK flight paths over Five Towns
Residents of the Five Towns become intimately familiar with the flight paths pilots take near JFK Airport – oftentimes they pass directly overhead. “I grew up in Cedarhurst, and I could never have a conversation on the phone. I’d have to hold on a minute and wait for the planes to pass,” Gerber says. “You can still hear them in Hewlett, but it’s further from the airport. It’s not nearly as bad as in Cedarhurst or Inwood.”
