Highly rated school district 34 miles from New York City
Woodbury, 34 miles from New York City, has everything from shopping to transportation. The residential and commercial area is located within the Town of Oyster Bay and beside Syosset. “My biggest thing is they’re very beautiful neighborhoods, but they’re convenient to get to where you need to go,” says Frances Mazer, an associate broker and the founding agent of the Woodbury office for Compass Real Estate who has lived in the community for over 40 years. “The shopping is great, and if you need a mall or just want an independent store, you could be there in five or 10 minutes. The accessibility is wonderful.” Woodbury’s location is a big draw for the area, and the community has access to major roadways and public transportation. The area is also known for its highly-rated school district. The area is served by the Syosset Central School District, which has an A-plus rating on Niche, as does every school in the district.

Single-family homes start at $1 million
Winding streets with large homes sit beneath pine trees on lawns dotted with manicured hedges. There are no sidewalks in the residential areas, and homes are set back from the road, which has long, wide driveways. Most residents are homeowners, and only 16% of residents rent. “There is similar housing to Syosset, but at a slightly higher price,” says Pascullo. “They still have an affordability aspect for first-time home buyers and very nice rental apartments.” Homes in the area are in the split-level, new historicism, Colonial Revival and postmodernism styles. Townhouses and condos are available and range from $730,000 to $2.2 million. Most single-family homes range from $1 million to $3 million, but some homes can be found between $800,000 and $1 million. Larger homes cost between $2 million and $4 million.
