A charming hamlet in North Hempstead

Commutes Outdoors Shopping Cafes Mass Transit Family-Friendly

The idyllic hamlet of Roslyn Heights provides a range of landscapes, making it ideal for everyone: from the natural beauty of Clark Botanic Gardens to the indoor Christopher Morley Tennis Center at Christopher Morley Park, and from the tree-filled neighborhoods to the eclectic shops and cafes along Mineola Avenue. Golfers will appreciate having Wheatley Hills Golf Club on the south end of the neighborhood, while commuters will appreciate having Northern State Parkway and the Long Island Expressway easily accessible.

Ideal for those working in Manhattan but craving that small-town community feel, Roslyn Heights is just 20 miles from Manhattan -- the Long Island Rail Road takes passengers quickly to Penn Station, adding even more reason that Roslyn Heights continues to gain in popularity. Roslyn Heights is minutes away from New York Institute of Technology, the State University College at Old Westbury, and North Shore University Hospital, making this a terrific option for students and professors, as well.
