Community-centric suburbia between Westbury and East Meadow
Salisbury is a Nassau County hamlet whose name doesn’t always spark the same recognition that similar commuter communities do; until the 1990s, it was still being called South Westbury. This Nassau County suburb, even if called by any other name, would be just as grassy, tranquil and full of the family-friendly Long Island community members and conveniences that have attracted residents for decades. “I’m a third-generation Salisbury guy. It’s a tight community. They say it takes a village to raise kids, and we have that here. Sports are big, so everybody’s carpooling. The local tavern just did a food drive. Everybody looks out for each other,” says Thomas Nails, a Realtor and top producer at Coldwell Banker, though his and his wife’s involvement in the community has also given them the titles of Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury. “Salisbury’s unique – it's associated with East Meadow, but we’re a Westbury mailing address. We don’t know who we are, but we kind of like it that way. Really, we’re a great place to grow up, raise your children and get involved.” Its association with highly rated East Meadow public schools and the Westbury name appended to some local businesses help explain some of the inter-hamlet confusion. Community fundraisers based around youth sports and Clarke High Ram pride are ample proof of the longstanding village-mentality that keeps Salisbury feeling like home across generations and name changes.

Midcentury starter homes from $600,000
Salisbury’s residential roads are a classic blend of winding cul-de-sacs and suburban blocks, lined by sidewalks and a blend of the small Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, as well as the larger Colonial Revival and split-level homes, that have been around since the 1940s through 1960s. While especially small homes and work-needed options can go for less, most midcentury single-family homes will sell for $600,000 to $1.2 million. “The thing about Salisbury – it can still be affordable, but it’s heading toward the upper end. A lot of properties are being purchased by investors and built into McMansions,” says John Carey, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker with eight years of experience in markets across Nassau County. Large New Traditional homes built in the past few years push out toward the edges of their property lines and sell for $1 million to $2.5 million. Salisbury has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Nassau County mock trial champions at W.T. Clarke High School
The hamlet is served by East Meadow Union Free School District. Kids will attend Bowling Green Elementary School, W.T. Clarke Middle School and W. T. Clarke High School, all of which earn an A from Niche. All three schools are fairly centralized within the hamlet, and the middle and high schools share the same building. Outside of well-regarded academic programs, the high school is also full of diverse and high-achieving extracurricular groups. W.T. Clarke High’s mock trial team was the best in Nassau County in 2023, a rank that earned them a spot to compete in New York’s statewide competition that same year.
Bowling Green School has 890 students in grades K-5 .
Tresper Clarke High School has a student-teacher ratio of 1:1.

Commuting on the LIE or making use of Westbury’s LIRR station
Commuters can head up Wantagh State Parkway to the Northern State Parkway, eventually merging onto the Long Island Expressway for most of the roughly 30-mile drive to Manhattan. Public transit is limited to limited Nassau Inter-County Express bus service along Carman Avenue and Old Country Road, as the hamlet does not fall directly along one of the Long Island Rail Road’s branches. The nearest Long Island Rail Road Station is in neighboring Westbury, and train riders can expect a roughly 40-minute trip to Penn Station. John F. Kennedy International Airport is about 17 miles away. Nassau University Medical Center is a couple of miles south in East Meadow.
Over 10,000 residents call the hamlet of Salisbury home.
New York City and all points east are easily accessible from the Westbury LIRR station.

Central Nassau Little League fields and the former Salisbury Park
The Central Nassau Athletic Association introduces kids to basketball, softball and baseball, with frequent games and practices at Gabriel Vitale Memorial Field. In the summer, the adjacent Carman Avenue Pool opens to town of Hempstead residents. While the enormous Nassau County destination park that makes up Salisbury’s southwestern border’s name was changed decades ago, its convenience to its once namesake community has not gone away. Salisbury Park Drive is a little-known hint to Eisenhower Park’s former identity, and the only thing that separates Salisbury from two of the park’s three public golf courses. Accessing the rest of the park’s many amenities is a matter of traversing paths through its well-kept, sprawling acreage or taking a short drive to the best-located parking lot.

Shopping and dining on Carman Avenue and Old Country Road
Carman Avenue is Salisbury’s sleepy commercial corridor, lined with strip malls that house a handful of insurance offices, salons and medical specialists. A small community of restaurants pops up between specialty businesses, including Taka Sushi and Venere Restaurant, where a copy of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus watches over customers enjoying Italian fare. “The Salisbury Tavern is just the trendy, local place. The owner is president of the Little League. It’s a burgers, fries and chicken parm kind of place – everybody hangs out and knows your name, like in Cheers,” Nails says. Old Country Road is a much more comprehensive commercial thoroughfare, drawing shoppers to Uniondale strip mall destinations like Costco and Target, and, eventually, to the hundreds of retailers that make up the Roosevelt Field shopping mall. A handful of houses of worship are scattered throughout the hamlet, including Cross Bridge Church and Temple Sholom of Westbury.

Running with the Rams and parading with Central Nassau Little League
Participants don their W. T. High School colors and do some careful stretching before taking off on the annual Run With the Rams 5K, a popular springtime fundraiser for the school’s athletic program and community members going through hard times. It's hard to overstate Little League’s popularity on Long Island, something that is especially evident as crowds cheer on Central Nassau’s teams as they parade down Carman Avenue on opening day, clad in team colors and carrying banners crediting the many Salisbury, East Meadow and Westbury businesses that have supported their season.
