Williston Park offers a family friendly atmosphere

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. "It's a very family-based community," says Maryann Milovcic, a local broker with Douglas Elliman Real Estate who has over a decade of real estate experience. "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.

People care about locally owned restaurants in Williston Park

Some of the area's businesses have been around since the early 20th century. A community effort saved Hildebrandt's, one of the area’s staples, from closing. "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.

There’s Halloween parade in the community

The Village of Williston Park has multiple events, frequently hosted at either the Thomas Muldoon Gazebo or the Kelleher Field. Every Halloween, costumed parents and children march around the village and enjoy festivities in Kelleher Field for the Ragamuffin Halloween Parade.

Williston Park’s housing market is competitive

Single-family homes make up the bulk of the residences in this community, all built sometime between the early 1920s and the late 1940s. Home designs heavily feature Colonial Revival and Dutch Colonial characteristics, namely double-pitched roofs and narrow dormer windows built into the roofline. Locals can bike down the streets or walk their dogs along the sidewalk. Housing prices in Williston Park are comparable to those of surrounding neighborhoods, and its low inventory is owed to its coveted location. "The housing market is very aggressive, "Milovcic says," It's very competitive because of everything around it." Home prices range from $600,000 for the average Colonial home to 1.7 million or more for more updated houses.
