Glen Head is a suburban hamlet on the north side of Long Island’s Nassau County, although nearby villages like Brookville, Muttontown, and Roslyn Harbor are all served by the Glen Harbor zip code as well. This section of Long Island is primarily residential, with the rental market characterized by single-family houses ranging from swanky to sensible. Golf courses and country clubs add significant greenery to the landscape, and the close access to the water makes it easy to do some boating and fishing.
LIU Post and the New York Institute of Technology are close at hand, making Glen Head a popular choice for students, faculty, and staff members. With the ride to Penn Station being only about an hour via MTA rail service, Glen Head is a terrific option for commuters, while the excellent schools and low crime rate boost the appeal for families.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
