Longstanding businesses and tranquil suburbs make up the community of Williston Park. The town has maintained a strong sense of community since its inception in the early 20th century.

"I grew up in Williston Park, and I have great memories from there." Kids can ride their bikes to local parks and schools, and nearby restaurants and businesses along Willis and Hillside Avenue are similarly close.

Shopping and Dining
Some of the area's businesses have been around since its founding in the early 20th century. Hildebrandt's is one that saw a community effort to save it. "This place is very important to the community; I used to come here all the time as a kid," says Zack Sarf, one of the Hildebrandt's new owners. "Hildebrant's almost shut down before we took over. We had some renovations but still have the jukebox and stuff to make our own candy."
Williston Townhouse Diner is another longstanding establishment, a classic diner dishing out hearty portions of American dishes. Newer establishments have also made a splash in the community, such as Rock n Roots Vegan Eatery, offering various vegan and health-conscious dishes and products. Patrons can order out for pizza or eat in one of the booths in Spuntino. Ceriello Fine Foods is one local option for specialty products and groceries. At the same time, national franchises like H-Mart are located east down Hillside Avenue.
