Local Lifestyle
Brookville is an affluent residential village on Long Island's prestigious North Shore, characterized by sprawling estates, lush greenery, and a serene, exclusive atmosphere. 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 community's low-density zoning helps preserve its semi-rural charm, with many properties set on large parcels of land offering privacy, tranquility, and amenities such as private pools, tennis courts, and even equestrian facilities. The village has a peaceful ambiance, attracting a population that values high-quality education and a luxurious, secluded lifestyle.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Brookville is predominantly a residential community, and as such, it does not feature a traditional, bustling downtown shopping district. Residents typically venture to nearby villages and towns on the Gold Coast for a wider selection of upscale amenities. However, the area is home to the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, which serves as a major cultural and entertainment hub, hosting a variety of performances and events throughout the year, often with on-site concession and bar services. For dining, local favorites include neighborhood establishments such as the Brookville Deli & Caterers and the Old Brookville Restaurant, known for serving American and Italian fare. Fine dining and extensive shopping are readily available in close proximity in surrounding towns like Roslyn, Manhasset (home to the "Miracle Mile" of luxury retailers), and Oyster Bay.
Things to Do
The village offers a tranquil and idyllic setting with ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, often centered around its expansive natural spaces. 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.
Schools
Brookville's school system is a major draw for families, as the public schools are highly rated. The village is served by several top-rated public school districts, including the North Shore Central School District and the Locust Valley Central School District, depending on the specific location within the village. The village and its immediate surroundings are also home to several prestigious private schools, such as The Green Vale School (PK-8) and Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School.
