North Hills' upstate feel near the city

Named for its gently rolling hills and location in North Hempstead, North Hills is a neighborhood marked by private tree-lined streets that give it a calm, quiet atmosphere. North Hills consists of smaller gated regions, such as Hamlet Estates and condominium communities, such as The Fairways. North Hills also features parks and three country clubs with swimming pools, tennis courts and golf courses, all within a couple of miles of dining options and health care, as well. “You feel like you’re upstate but you’re only 20 or 30 minutes from the city,” says Maryann Milovcic, a licensed real estate salesperson and two-time Gold Award recipient at Douglas Elliman Real Estate with over 25 years of local experience. “It’s just peaceful. There are a lot of young families, and it’s a very pleasant neighborhood with great schools, a lot of family parks and access to Northern State Parkway and Long Island Expressway. You really feel like you’re part of a community. It has a nice vibe to it.” North Hills is a popular choice for those looking to commute to the city for work or for its attractions, but who also prefer larger residential plots and a slow-paced lifestyle.

Country clubs, private parks and the Roslyn Farmers Market

When residents want to be outdoors, they may play golf at one of North Hills’ golf courses, relax at one of the numerous country clubs or spend time in one of its well-maintained parks. The recently renovated Lowell Kane Park, which only North Hill residents can use, features a playground with brand new equipment and rubber surfacing, as well as a newly paved parking lot and basketball court. Christopher Morley County Park is also a popular destination thanks to its striking pond, 30 acres of wooded trails and long list of amenities. Residents come here to golf, swim, ice skate and play sports, including baseball and volleyball. This park also hosts the Roslyn Farmers Market run by the Long Island Growers Market on Wednesdays from late May through December.

Three highly ranked school districts serve North Hills

North Hills is split among multiple school districts, all of which are incredibly highly rated. Niche lists the Great Neck Union Free School District as the third best school district in the state and the 11th best district in the country. Students zoned for Great Neck schools might begin their education at Lakeville Elementary and then head to Great Neck South Middle and High Schools, which all score A-plus grades on Niche. Herricks Union Free School District likewise makes it into the top 100 school districts in the country, while it and Manhasset Union Free School District rank among the top 20 school districts in the state. While the school district that children in the village attend depends on address, every student can receive public education at a highly rated institution. According to Milovcic, the school districts in North Hills are a major reason it is such a popular neighborhood.
