Welcome to Manhasset

Manhasset, NY, is a vibrant suburban community located on the North Shore of Long Island, in Nassau County. The area was originally inhabited by the Matinecock Native American tribe before European settlers arrived in the 17th century. Its name, derived from the Native American word "Manhasset," meaning "the island neighborhood," reflects its location on the Manhasset Bay. Over the centuries, Manhasset evolved from a farming community into an affluent residential area, particularly in the early 20th century, when wealthy New Yorkers built grand estates along its shores. The construction of the Long Island Rail Road’s Manhasset station in the 19th century further boosted the area’s appeal, making it an attractive commuter town for those working in New York City.
 
Today, Manhasset is a thriving, upscale village known for its excellent schools, beautiful homes, and proximity to Manhattan. It is particularly renowned for Americana Shopping Plaza, a high-end shopping area that attracts visitors from across the region, and its proximity to the Manhasset Bay, providing stunning waterfront views. The village has a blend of suburban charm and modern amenities, including parks, restaurants, and cultural attractions. With easy access to major highways and public transportation, Manhasset continues to be a desirable community for families and professionals seeking a peaceful yet connected lifestyle. Its rich history, excellent quality of life, and close-knit community make it one of Long Island’s most sought-after residential areas.
