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.

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.
