From farmland to commercial hub in Long Island
Hicksville started as a quiet cucumber farming community, but it had one major advantage over other similar towns: its namesake, Valentine Hicks, who served as the president of the Long Island Rail Road in 1837 and 1838. It wasn’t very long, but it was just long enough for him to turn land he owned in Hicksville into a Long Island Railroad station — one that first helped sustain the little farming community, and later fueled an explosion of growth during World War II.
Today, Hicksville is a major shopping and transportation hub with a lively, energetic atmosphere, and it’s still growing. “It’s a wonderful place for anyone considering living on Long Island because of its rich diversity and remarkable restaurants,” says Mrinalni Sharma, a licensed real estate salesperson at Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty and former resident. “I still go there because there are wonderful restaurants over there, great shops. They have great schools and parks, and they have fairs and festivals because there are so many different cultures. There’s always something going on.”
There are several urgent care centers in or near Hicksville, plus Plainview Hospital, Syosset Hospital and Nassau University Medical Center are all less than 5 miles away. As a result, the U.S. Census Bureau says 23.6% of residents work in education, health care or social assistance. Hicksville’s large commercial district, Home Depot distribution center and the headquarters for Sam Ash Music, a chain of music stores that sells musical instruments, recording and sound equipment, also provide many jobs; 13.9% of residents work in professional, scientific, management, administrative and waste management services, and 13.2% work in retail.

Diverse restaurants, abundant shopping and upcoming revitalization
Hicksville has a vibrant shopping and dining district, mostly centered around Broadway and the LIRR station. “There’s so many people of different cultures that you find different varieties of foods and shops,” Sharma says. “I used to live in Hicksville, but I still go there for my grocery shopping and with my friends to the different restaurants. It’s just wonderful. Every weekend you can go to a different one, and the food is really good.” There’s a high concentration of South Asian restaurants, including those serving Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani cuisine, leading one portion of Hicksville to be dubbed “Little India.” The Broadway Commons mall houses Hicksville’s largest concentration of major retailers, from clothing and shoe shops to game and grocery stores.
The community isn’t done growing, either — in 2017, Town Supervisor Joe Saladino says Hicksville received a $10 million grant from the state to revitalize its downtown into a mixed-use area with residential units, restaurants and shopping all in one walkable area. “When I became town supervisor, I jumpstarted the process, with our town hosting several planning committee meetings and public workshops to gather input,” Saladino says. “Together, we’re moving forward with private sector developments and public works enhancements that transform the Hicksville business district into a vibrant downtown that millennials, families and empty nesters desire — with housing, restaurants and office space near public transportation.”

Nearby highways, commuting to NYC from Hicksville Station
Broadway is Hicksville’s main thoroughfare, but other major roads pass through the area, including Newbridge Road and the Northern State Parkway. There’s an intersection of major highways just north of Hicksville, so it takes just a couple of minutes to hop onto the Long Island Expressway, Jericho Turnpike or Wantagh State Parkway. It’s incredibly convenient for the 60.9% of residents the USCB reports drive to work, but many — 14% — use public transportation. As a result, Hicksville Station is still an important part of daily life for many residents. From there, reaching Manhattan’s Penn Station takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. According to Saladino, there are also improvements for the LIRR station in the works. “We’ve undergone streetscaping projects, and are working towards the construction of an elevated walking path with landscaping, seating areas, and safer pedestrian connection to the LIRR station,” he says. For a little fun, driving on the Wantagh State Parkway brings residents to Jones Beach on the South Shore in just 20 minutes.
Older and newly renovated homes on wide residential streets
According to Marie Salerno, a licensed associate real estate broker with Douglas Elliman Real Estate who specializes in Hicksville, Jericho and the surrounding towns, Hicksville’s more commercial sections are complemented by pockets of residential neighborhoods ranging from cozy to spacious. "It's a unique blend," Salerno says, "offering the seclusion and charm of a peaceful community while keeping you within proximity to all the amenities and conveniences." The median home price is $725,000, which is higher than the national median of $416,700 reported by the National Association of Realtors. “Hicksville is gaining increasing attention from developers, who are actively purchasing and flipping properties in need of renovations or constructing new homes altogether,” Salerno says.
Hicksville has a variety of house styles.

The impacts of hurricane season, decreasing crime rates
Although Hicksville is an inland community, hurricane season still impacts it. The good thing about being inland is that there’s only a minor risk of flooding, but there’s a major risk of wind damage. Getting insurance can help protect against storm damage.
Hicksville has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, which is below the national average of 4.
Cantiague Park, improvements coming for smaller local parks
At 127 acres, Cantiague Park is by far the biggest green space in Hicksville, and its large playground and athletic fields make it a focal point for the community. Locals can sign up for ice skating lessons at the ice rink, purchase passes to the community pool or head next door to the nine-hole Cantiague Golf Course. Families who want a more laid-back experience try their hand at the 18-hole mini golf course when it’s open in the summer. Smaller parks are scattered throughout the neighborhood, offering playgrounds and athletic spaces that Saladino says have also been getting facelifts alongside Kennedy Park, where a parking lot is getting turned into a green space for concerts and pop-up vendors. The Town of Oyster Bay Hicksville Athletic Center has indoor athletic areas and hosts dozens of programs for residents of all ages. Hicksville Public Library also offers book clubs, children’s events and workout classes. During the summer, residents often purchase beach parking stickers so they can visit The Town of Oyster Bay Beach just 20 minutes away.
Cantiague pool in Hicksville is open from 10:00am - 6pm.

Street fairs, Memorial Day parade
Every October, Jersualem Avenue comes alive with the Chamber of Commerce Street Fair. Residents get together to order treats from food trucks, listen to live music, explore the kid’s fun zone and check out the craft and vendor bazaar. The Hicksville Historic Society always walks in the annual Memorial Day parade with other community groups and members. Hicksville features places of worship for those who practice Judaism, Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Protestantism. Most sit off Broadway in central Hicksville, like St. Ignatius Loyola Parish, but sites like Temple Beth Torah and Shri Ram Sharnam can be found 2 miles or less from Broadway.
Hicksville’s diverse, highly rated schools
The Hicksville Union Free School District gets an A-minus from Niche and easily makes the site’s list of 50 most diverse districts in the state. The district has seven elementary schools, but just one middle school and one high school.
Old Country Road Elementary School has 358 students in grades K-5.
The motto at Hicksville Middle School is "Heart + Motivation = Success."
Hicksville High School has1,776 students in grades 9-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1.
Holy Trinity High School as 800 students in grades 9-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 14:1.
