Artsy, walkable and diverse in Westbury

Westbury is an art-loving, multicultural melting pot on the eastern side of Long Island, bringing two aspects many love about New York City into the suburbs. “To me, one of the main attractions of Westbury is its diversity,” says Wendy Liotti, an associate broker and team leader of the Rowan Team at Compass who has lived in Westbury for over 40 years and serves as a board member on Westbury’s Chamber of Commerce. “Westbury is a very diverse community; it welcomes and encourages diverse cultures.” It’s a sentiment that Mayor Peter Cavallaro echoes. “Our community motto, ‘A community for all seasons,’ reflects that diversity and a welcoming for all people who want to be in a vibrant and active community,” he says.

There are other reasons Westbury’s little downtown has become so popular. “The village is very, very supportive of business and the arts, and there’s been a lot of revitalization,” Liotti says. “A couple of years ago, Westbury received a $10 million grant, and that’s gone toward ... new sidewalks, new facades and new crossing areas. Westbury is really becoming a destination.” Cavallaro says the community has improved infrastructure, streetscapes and amenities in the past few years and more is on the way. “I have said that I want Westbury to be seen as and be one of the most attractive, affordable and welcoming communities to live, work and recreate on all Long Island,” Cavallaro says. “I think we’re getting there.”

Art exhibits, summer concerts and Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair

Westbury Arts often hosts events that bring the community together. “We have concerts and art exhibits,” says Liotti, who is also on the board of directors for the organization. “Part of our mission is to unify the community through the arts.” According to Cavallaro, who founded Westbury Arts, the organization hosts seven or eight free outdoor concerts each summer, and there’s an annual Short Film Concert. The Space at Westbury offers small concerts downtown. Just outside the communit, Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair hosts frequent performances by musicians and comedians. “It could be anything,” says Damien Coleman, the broker and owner of DAC Properties Corp with over 25 years of experience selling homes. “Barbara Streisand, Kevin Hart, different celebrities. Pretty much everybody’s been there performing. It’s like a baby Radio City Music Hall.”

Local restaurants and shops along Post Avenue

Westbury’s downtown is loaded with local restaurants, offering a variety of cuisines. “You may have a pizza parlor, a Dominican restaurant, a Creole restaurant, Mexican, Spanish, Jamaican, Columbian,” Coleman says. Local businesses, from jewelry and flower shops to thrift stores, also line Post Avenue. There’s a grocery store, too, and major retailers are about a mile away. “We have a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe’s, a Costco, a Walmart, Marshalls, Total Wine,” Liotti says. Roosevelt Field and Samanea Mall are both within 2 miles.

Downtown condos and abundant single-family homes

Westbury’s downtown is full of condominiums and apartments. “Our community is one of several on Long Island that have been certified by New York State as a Pro Housing Community, which designation allows us priority consideration for certain state funding,” Cavallaro says, adding that the village has about 1,500 multifamily units — which includes condos, apartments and assisted living — with more on the way. Condos typically cost between $340,000 and $900,000. Beyond Westbury’s downtown, Cape Cods, colonials, hi-ranches and ranch-style homes are stretched along tree-lined streets. Westbury’s median home price is $760,000, which is higher than the National Association of Realtor’s reported national median of $405,000. Its prices are much lower than in Old Westbury, however, where homes rarely cost below $1 million and estates on large lots can climb to nearly $30 million.

Upcoming park renovations and major parks nearby

Westbury has two small village parks, and Cavallaro says there are plans “to modernize them and to make them more accessible to children of all abilities.” Nearby, Charles J. Fuschillo Park’s 2023 renovations gave it a splash pad and updated its play equipment to make it the Town of North Hempstead’s first accessible playground for disabled children. Westbury also edges right up against the 930-acre Eisenhower Park, which features a popular dog park, a public swimming pool, playgrounds and athletic spaces, including a golf course and a brand-new cricket stadium that hosted the 2024 Cricket World Cup.

Refreshed LIRR station, junction of major highways

According to Cavallaro, the Long Island Rail Road’s Westbury Station was remodeled in 2022, adding a third track and a 700-car parking garage. The train takes commuters to Manhattan’s Penn Station in about 45 minutes. A few express trains stop at the station, cutting the commute to 30 minutes. Located at a junction of major highways, Westbury provides easy access to Northern State Parkway, Jericho Turnpike, Meadowbrook State Parkway and Wantagh State Parkway. Many residents who don’t work in New York City commute to work in nearby schools and hospitals. Nassau University Medical Center is about 4 miles away and John F. Kennedy International Airport is 20 miles away.

Hurricane season in an inland village, average crime rates

Hurricane season can impact all of Long Island. Westbury has a minor risk of flooding but a major risk of high winds.

Served by the Nassau County Police Department’s Second Precinct, Westbury’s CAP Index crime score is 4 out of 10, matching the national average.
