Trading big city life for Selden's local scene
Eclectic restaurant options, tree-filled streets and close-by commuter options welcome new and existing Selden residents to this Long Island town. “Selden has a hometown feel with local restaurants, nearby outdoor adventures and homes for young couples, families or anyone looking to downsize. People are 40 minutes away from beaches and wineries,” says Jennifer Nyx, a Realtor with Keller Williams who has over six years of experience helping her clients buy and sell homes. “It’s also close to the railroad, so people have the capability to commute into the city.” Whether homeowners choose Selden to get away from big city life or to live closer to commuting options, this hamlet gives people reasons to move to Long Island.

Dog parents get together at Selden Dog Park
The Selden hamlet was designed for relaxing at home and shopping along Middle Country Road, but residents aren’t far from public parks. Some take their kids to Rose Caracappa Park, also known as Liberty Park, to hang out on the playground equipment or to go for a walk along the paved trail. For access to a pool and paved athletic courts, locals take a short drive to Centereach Park off Hawkins Road. Selden Dog Park has wide open space for pups to stretch their legs and socialize. This park is known for being a safe space for dogs since the pet parents who come here tend to be regulars and know each other’s names. Middle County Public Library Selden Branch also welcomes anyone looking for more educational fun in an air-conditioned setting.
