Down the Garden City Path
“Garden City is a quaint village on the western edge of Long Island’s Nassau County,” says Elizabeth Breslin, an agent with Howard Hanna of Coach Realtors. “It’s accessible to airports, the city, beaches and shopping, and it has a great sense of community.” Commuters can be in Midtown Manhattan in 35 minutes or fewer, which is a huge selling point. But once they arrive, residents put down roots in Garden City. Its parks and the summer pool complex foster connections, and village officials organize events throughout the year to bring people together. “I didn’t grow up here. I’m from Michigan originally, and it was easy to become established here and meet people,” Breslin adds.

Garden City also has a downtown area along Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue. Eateries in the area include Primehouse Steak & Sushi, Italian restaurant and bar La Nonna Bella and Waterzooi Belgian Bistro & Oyster Bar. There’s a meat market, a gourmet grocer and several clothing boutiques along Seventh Street, and the village offers a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe’s. The village also offers a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe’s. “There’s so much shopping. Within a 10-minute drive, we have literally anything you can want,” Breslin says.

An Easter parade and other events
The village often hosts events “that bring the community together,” Breslin says. From the Easter Sunday Vintage Car Parade to summer festivals with bands and outdoor dining, it’s not uncommon for the village to close down the main streets to party.

From new condos to landmarked homes
Garden City is a desirable destination where demand outweighs supply. Housing stock includes colonials and split-level homes that cost between $850,000 and $3 million, with some closer to $6 million. The Apostle Houses, featuring mansard roofs and cupolas, were built by A.T. Stewart in the early days of the village and are part of a nationally recognized historic district. These cost around $2.5 million. There are also upscale co-ops and amenitized condos near the downtown area. One-bedroom condos range from $600,000 to $750,000, while a larger unit could reach around $2 million. These condominiums’ location and smaller size make them popular housing options, especially among seniors.

Five LIRR stations serve Garden City
“We’re only a 35-minute commute by train,” Breslin says, referring to the Long Island Rail Road. “We have five stations in town and two train lines.” Those who prefer to drive can take I-495 to Midtown Manhattan via the Queens-Midtown Tunnel—it’s about 25 miles.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
