Welcome to Locust Valley


A quaint escape from Manhattan in a lush one-square-mile hamlet
 
Often compared to idyllic country towns like Greenwich and Darien, Locust Valley has well-earned its reputation as a gorgeously-appointed hamlet amongst Long Island’s rolling green fields. City-dwellers flock to Locust Valley for the large homes, the excellent school district, and the charming small-town feel. Residents claim the area is just as relaxing as heading to the Hamptons for the weekend.
 

What to Love

 
 • One-square-mile around; small and manageable
 • Where everybody knows your name
 • Well-appointed homes and acreage
 

Local Lifestyle

 
Locust Valley residents often commute into Manhattan via the Long Island Railroad or by car. The people here have a “work hard, play hard” mindset and take full advantage of the local beaches and waterfront activities on the weekend. The town is mainly made up of young families whose kids all attend school together, making for a close-knit community of parents who are involved in the school district.
 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

 
Any local will tell you that Birch Hill Market is the go-to spot for fresh meat, seafood, prepared foods, and gourmet meals; they are the perfect place to head if you’re planning a party at home or a big dinner with family. Basil Leaf Cafe is a fabulous Italian restaurant with inventive Sicilian fares, where Stuey’s Smokehouse & BBQ is the popular spot for meat lovers.  The Brass Rail will be your go-to for a fun date night out with their delicious drinks and excellent small plates. Barney’s touts a cozy fireplace and finely-crafted French dishes.
 
Besides restaurants, Locust Valley is known for clothing boutiques, antique shops, and interior design showrooms. Locust Valley Bookstore is a local haunt for erudites and is set in a charming and cozy shop downtown.
 

Things to Do

 
As with most of the Gold Coast, the beach is the place to be during summer. Luckily, Locust Valley residents benefit from the gorgeous Stehli Beach in nearby Bayville. For some, elite country clubs like Piping Rock, the Creek Club (with private beach for kids!), and the Beaver Dam Winter Sports Club are a major draw to the area where golf remains a hugely popular pastime for most residents in town.
 
The Grenville Baker Boys and Girls Club attracts 200 children a day to its gymnasiums, art classes, homework help, and playing fields. Every year, St. John’s of Lattingtown puts on the St. John’s Fair, a three-day event with rides, food booths, raffles, a silent auction, antiques, and more.
 
Along the woodland paths at dog-friendly Bailey Arboretum, a 42-acre Nassau County park, are dawn redwoods, landscaped gardens, and ponds for when you need to grab a breath of fresh air. Shu Swamp Preserve is another hugely popular spot to take a weekend stroll with dogs and family.
 
The Locust Valley Cemetery resembles a strolling garden and is documented in the Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens.
 

Schools

 
There are just over 2,000 students in the Locust Valley Central School District who come from Locust Valley, Bayville, Lattingtown, Matinecock, the Brookvilles, Muttontown, and Mill Neck. Young children attend one of two primary schools, Ann Macarthur Primary or Bayville Primary, and 3rd through 5th grades attend one of two intermediate schools. Kids matriculate to Locust Valley Middle School and ultimately Locust Valley High School, which has 100 percent graduation and college acceptance rates.
 
There are two private schools in the area, The Portledge School and The Friends Academy. Both are highly-rated college preparatory schools and have excellent testing scores.
