Munsey Park offers scenic streets and nearby attractions
Towering elms, beeches and sycamores stretch their limbs across Park Avenue, creating a canopy of shade as you enter the village of Munsey Park. The quiet, natural setting of this community is one of its biggest draws, but it has much more to offer than just its landscape. Whether you want to shop on Manhasset ’s Miracle Mile or relax on the beach, Munsey Park puts you right in the middle of these North Shore attractions. Highly rated schools and a convenient commute to New York City add to the appeal.
Tree‑lined streets shape much of Munsey Park’s residential layout.
Many Munsey Park streets are named for notable American artists.

Village homes mix historic styles with higher prices and taxes
Colonial Revivals, Tudor Revivals and ranch-style homes make up much of the village. You’ll find houses with brick and stone exteriors surrounded by lush green lawns and detailed landscaping. “It literally looks like a Norman Rockwell painting,” says Alexandra Gregorek, an associate real estate broker at Douglas Elliman Real Estate with 15 years of experience. “It’s a really nice, quaint village.” Prices typically fall between the lower $1.2 millions and the mid-$3.2 millions. Expect high property taxes here, too. Nassau County is known for having some of the highest rates in the country, and you’ll have to pay taxes to the county, the Town of North Hempstead, the Village of Munsey Park and the school district.
Brick Colonial Revival homes are common in Munsey Park neighborhoods.

Parks, ponds and beaches offer plenty of recreation
Getting outside is easy in Munsey Park, with popular green spaces in and around the village. “There’s a cute pond right in the center. In the winter, you’ll see kids skating on it,” Gregorek says. Copley Pond Park and Waldmann Memorial Park offer natural settings where you can sit and enjoy the scenery or take a stroll through the woods. North Hempstead Beach Park is another popular destination just north of the village. “It’s really nice. They have a huge pool. You have tennis courts, paddleball courts, a baseball field, a skateboard park. You have a little beach area,” Gregorek says. “It really has everything right in that area.”

Quick train rides and permit parking make commuting simple
Commuting to Manhattan is a breeze with the Manhasset Long Island Rail Road station nearby.

If you prefer driving, you’ll have a 25-mile trip along Interstate 495.
Which renovations need approval from village officials
Building permits are required for many home projects in Munsey Park. If you’re planning on replacing doors or windows, installing central air conditioning or having a tree removed, you should contact Village Hall to get a permit. Some projects, like adding a new coat of paint to your house, do not require a permit.
