Residents primarily own their homes, enjoying a luxurious retreat from city life while maintaining accessibility for commuters who work in nearby towns or New York City, approximately 25 miles away.

The village has a peaceful ambiance, attracting a population that values high-quality education and a luxurious, secluded lifestyle.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

The proximity to nature is a highlight, with the Muttontown Preserve and the famed Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park nearby, offering stunning gardens, walking trails, and nature exploration. The area's "Gold Coast" heritage means residents have access to numerous historic sites and museums, including the nearby Nassau County Museum of Art and the grand Old Westbury Gardens. Golf is a popular pastime, with many world-class golf courses accessible throughout the greater North Shore area. Due to its large properties, local social life often revolves around private gatherings, country clubs, and community events hosted by private institutions and local organizations.
