A conveniently located suburb with ties to Northwell Health
New Hyde Park has a history of catering to people of all backgrounds. Dutch and English settlers farmed the area in the 1600s, but immigrants from across Europe turned it into a suburban neighborhood in the 1920s. Today, easy commuting options and a highly rated school district are among the biggest reasons people move here. “We’re like a half hour from the South Shore beaches,” says Grace Desiderio, an associate broker at ERA Caputo Realty who has been in the business for 27 years and lives in New Hyde Park. “And people are still able to get to Manhattan to go to work or even just to go see a play or something. We’re in good shape as far as location. I’ve had my house for 24 years. It’s a great area to live in.”
Northwell Health is New York’s largest healthcare provider and one of the area's biggest private employers. The U.S. Census Bureau reported 34.7% of residents work in health care, education and social assistance. Cohen Children’s Medical Center is about 2 miles away, while North Shore University Hospital and NYU Langone Hospital are both less than 4 miles away.

Local shops and restaurants along Jericho Turnpike
Most local restaurants and businesses are on Jericho Turnpike. “I’ve walked to stores from my house because it’s a really convenient area where you can go to a restaurant,” Desiderio says. “Some of them are a little walk, but it’s a nice thing to do on a spring night.” Italian restaurants and classic diners are common, but there are also popular Asian restaurants. Local businesses range from salons to tech repair shops and comic book stores. Residents must drive a mile or two to North New Hyde Park, Bellerose or Lake Success for grocery shopping and major retailers.

Michael J. Tully Dog Park is less than a mile away, and it’s less than 2 miles to Clinton G Martin Park, where New Hyde Park residents get a discount on the annual memberships or daily passes for the outdoor pool, playground or tennis courts.
