Walkable and friendly in Manhasset
On any given day in Manhasset, residents are out and about — folks walking their dogs along sidewalk-lined residential streets, kids playing in front lawns and friends walking into its popular downtown to shop at little boutiques or grab dinner at a local restaurant. "Your neighbors are always outdoors and you’re always seeing your neighbors. It's a super tight-knit community," says Ann Hance, a licensed associate real estate broker with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty and longtime Manhasset resident. "When people come to Manhasset, they've done their research. They want a small community, a small school system, and to be close to their neighbors." Many also want to be within walking distance of Manhasset’s downtown, where people from surrounding communities flock for shopping, dining and entertainment. Walkability is the name of the game here and the sidewalks that run through this suburban community help tie it together in physical and emotional senses. "If you want to get out of the city, Manhasset is the easiest transition that one can make,” Hance says. “The homes are close together, people are generally friendly and there's a newcomer’s club.”

Shutting down Manhasset’s main street for festivities
Every summer, the community shuts down Plandome Road for Manhasset Al Fresco, a recurring Sunday event where local restaurants put up tents and locals eat outside while enjoying live music. Plandome Road is also shut down for Halloween so kids can get all dressed up and go trick-or-treating at participating businesses, and a holiday festival features shopping, dining, a scavenger hunt and window display contests. On Earth Day, residents join forces to clean up the town and keep it beautiful.
Local boutiques and eateries, world-class retailers
"Plandome Road is essentially our main street. It has coffee shops, pizzerias, gourmet shops, banks and real estate offices," Hance says. "It’s where you go for life's basics. You don't have to leave Manhasset to get what you need." It’s also the go-to spot for a nice evening out at one of its many local restaurants. "Manhasset offers three amazing pizzerias, a small diner and across Northern Boulevard, steakhouses, ethnic restaurants and fusion places,” says Connie Liappas, a licensed associate real estate broker with Compass. “You name it. It's all there.” The family-owned Louie’s has been Manhasset’s go-to diner for 60 years. The kind of place where regulars enjoy a meal on a specific day like clockwork for decades, it’s particularly known for its breakfast food and friendly atmosphere, and recently had a complete renovation updating its dining room and expanding the size of its kitchen. Other popular local spots include Publicans, a favorite spot for burgers and beer since 1977, and the newer Kiko Ramen. Manhasset Cinemas offers the latest movies right in town.
Part of a shopping district called the Miracle Mile, Manhasset’s downtown offers local boutiques, but the community is also home to the Americana Manhasset shopping mall. According to Barry Paley, an investor, owner and associate broker at Keller Williams who has been selling here for 20 years, it’s the Long Island equivalent of Rodeo Drive in Beverley Hills. The famous mall houses huge brand-name stores like Gucci, Rag & Bone and Chanel. The result is a community with what Liappas calls “world-class shopping.” King Kullen and Whole Foods offer groceries.

Older Tudors and colonials from $1.2 million
Manicured front lawns are often interrupted by the sidewalks that connect the community, but not always. Beyond these yards, most of Manhasset’s colonials and Tudors date back to the 1920s or 1930s. New traditional and ranch-style homes are also common, usually built from the 1990s to the present. According to Paley, home prices rarely drop below $1 million. Those that are occasionally listed in the high $900,000 range are typically handyman specials, and even then, they’re priced to sell — they usually still go for over $1 million. Home prices most often start closer to $1.2 million and can climb as high as $4.7 million for a large new or updated home with luxury touches. "For the prices of our homes, we have relatively low taxes," Hance says. "Because we have a small town, a small school district and a large commercial base, we have a lot of commercial to offset our tax base. We are more desirable than surrounding areas because of our tax base." The CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Music and sports at Manhasset Secondary School
"The schools are good here, and it's a smaller school district, which some people prefer," Liappas says. Niche gives the Manhasset Union Free School District an A-plus. Children can attend Munsey Park Elementary School, Manhasset Middle School and Manhasset Secondary School, all of which also receive A-pluses. The middle school and secondary school have different pages on Niche, but they’re located in the same building and have the same principal. The secondary school, Liappas says, "offers an amazing sports program as well as a music program.” Private options include Saint Mary’s Elementary School, which is too small for a Niche rating but has a student-to-teacher ratio of 4-to-1, and Saint Mary's College Preparatory High School, which has an A.
Manhasset Secondary School is one of few great schools nearby for Manhasset residents.

Athletic courts and swimming pool at Whitney Pond Park
According to Paley, the area is also home to “phenomenal” parks. Manhasset Valley Park’s athletic fields host many lacrosse, soccer and baseball games, while Whitney Pond Park offers tennis and basketball courts as well as walking paths and a public swimming pool during the summer. Although it’s much smaller, Plandome Park is a popular spot for daily walks or runs. Manhasset is also surrounded by clubs, including North Hills Country Club, the Strathmore-Vanderbilt Country Club and the Fresh Meadow Country Club. Besides golfing, swimming and tennis are very popular at these clubs, especially among children.
The Whitney Park in Manhasset is a great place to play a game of tennis.

Easy LIRR commute to Manhattan
"I think the draw is the geographic location," Liappas says. "You still have a suburbia type of feel to it, although it’s a lot more congested than it used to be. The number one reason people move to Manhasset is the proximity to the city." Manhasset is only 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan. On a clear night, the Empire State Building is visible from the Americana Manhasset shopping center. Commuting into the city for work, a Broadway show or just because is convenient from Manhasset Station; from there, the train reaches Penn Station in just under 45 minutes. According to Paley, it’s one of the best Long Island Rail Road commutes other than Great Neck. State Route 25A also runs through Manhasset, and it takes just a few minutes to hop onto the Long Island Expressway, also known as Interstate 495, or the Northern State Parkway.
