Lake Success is a small village at the edge of Great Neck whose landscape and lifestyle are dominated by a country club and golf courses. “It’s a country club community,” says Edna Mashaal, the owner and broker of Edna Mashaal Realty. “As a resident of Lake Success, raising my kids here, I think it’s one of the most amazing areas.” The neighborhood’s country club, Lake Success Golf Club and the nearby Village Park of Lake Success offer residents a wide range of amenities, including an 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, restaurant, gym and outdoor areas that include a pool, 11 tennis courts and new pickleball courts. Residents can join the country club for well below the average cost of a country club membership or pay an annual fee to use park facilities like the gym or pool. Beyond these perks, though, the country club brings the community together through frequent events, giving everyone the chance to get involved and get to know one another. Walking down the streets of Lake Success, it’s easy to see evidence of its sense of community. Neighbors greet one another as they go by on their daily walks, and kids are always out riding their bikes in front of their houses. “It’s a very friendly, young, amazing, diverse neighborhood. Everybody knows each other,” Mashaal says. “If you drive around, everybody’s walking. People are walking, kids are riding their bikes, it’s nice. This is from the heart. I love Lake Success, whoever moves here is very happy.”
The calm, tree-shaded streets that Lake Success residents so often walk or bike down are mostly lined with colonial-style homes and Cape Cods. According to Mashaal, these homes generally cost between $1.4 and $4 million, with most falling in the range of $1.6 to $1.8 million. With its unique lifestyle and friendly community, competition to live in the village is fierce, so potential homebuyers should come prepared to pay more than a home’s asking price. “The houses are selling within one week right now. I think the last three houses I sold were on the market for less than a week,” says Mashaal. “There’s a bidding war on every house I put on the market. They’re all going for above asking price.”
Lake Success is part of the highly rated Great Neck Union Free School District, so children in the community attend schools like Great Neck South High School. This school, which has an A+ rating on Niche and a 10 out of 10 on Great Schools, has repeatedly made Newsweek’s list of the best high schools in America. In addition to its renowned academics, students can participate in 28 athletic teams and about 70 clubs and extracurricular activities.
North Shore Farms provides a place for the community to stock up on groceries and other essentials. When they’re in the mood to eat out, most residents follow Lakeville Road until it turns into South Middle Neck Road, which cuts right through Great Neck and serves as its main street. Along this road, you’ll find a wide variety of cuisines from around the world. “We have Japanese, Italian, Israeli, Persian, all kinds of restaurants,” Mashaal says. “It’s a very great, diverse area.”
Lake Success has easy access to the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway, and Little Neck Station on the Long Island Rail Road is a little less than 2 miles away. The train can take commuters to Pennsylvania Station in New York City in about 35 minutes. More than anything, though, it’s the lifestyle and community in Lake Success that cause so many people to want to call it home. “When you buy a house in Lake Success, you’re not buying a house, you’re buying a neighborhood. You’re buying a lifestyle,” Mashaal says. “And I’ll never move out.”
