What I Tell Buyers About New Hyde Park

New Hyde Park sits right on the Queens line, which gives it a Main Line LIRR station, a short ride to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison, and the Cross Island and Northern State within minutes. For anyone who works in the city but wants a Nassau address and Nassau schools, this is one of the most practical places on the map.

I have done thirteen transactions here - two sales and eleven leases, almost all of them at 400 and 410 Jericho Turnpike - so I know the rental side of this town better than almost anyone. On the sale side I closed $749,888 for a four-bedroom on Maple Drive West and $640,000 on Tottenham Place. The school structure is the thing to get right: New Hyde Park addresses feed one of several elementary districts and then into the Sewanhaka central high school district, except where they are in Herricks, which is K-12.

  • —Main Line LIRR station - short ride, no branch transfer for most trains
  • —Directly on the Queens border; Cross Island and Northern State minutes away
  • —A real active rental market, unusual for Nassau, along the Jericho Turnpike corridor
  • —Village of New Hyde Park plus unincorporated North New Hyde Park and Garden City Park
  • —Long Island Jewish and North Shore University hospitals immediately west

What It Costs

Grounded in my own closed transactions

My two sales closed at $640,000 and $749,888, both four-bedroom houses. That brackets the heart of this market well. On the rental side, eleven leases at 400 and 410 Jericho Turnpike ran from $2,150 to $2,500 for one- and two-bedroom apartments, which is as close to a hard local rent comp as you will find anywhere.

The catch

Two completely different structures share this mailing address. Some New Hyde Park homes are in an elementary-only district feeding the Sewanhaka central high school district; others are in Herricks, which runs K-12 on its own. Parts of the area also fall into the Garden City Park, Mineola or Great Neck districts. This is a parcel-level question with a large practical difference attached, so I confirm it in writing every time.

I name districts and link to them rather than ranking them. For enrollment, performance and spending, go to the State's own data: NYSED school report cards. School attendance is determined by the property, not by the mailing address, and should be confirmed with the district before you go to contract.

The Tax Bill

$11,000 – $20,000

typical annual bill, all in

Village of New Hyde Park addresses carry a village tax; North New Hyde Park and Garden City Park addresses do not. Herricks district addresses generally carry a higher school levy than Sewanhaka-area addresses. Those two variables, more than the house, set the bill.

These are ranges for the kind of house in my closings here, not a quote for any address. Pull the actual bill before you make an offer: Nassau County Land Records Viewer and the Department of Assessment. I will do it with you.
