That Money magazine ranked North Hempstead among the top 100 best places to live in the nation speaks volumes about the 58-square mile municipality on Manhattan’s door step. Yet, despite being a stones throw from New York City, North Hempstead is renowned for its comfortable, culturally-diverse enclaves offering a peaceful environment away from the hustle, bustle of the Big Apple. Though mostly residential, North Hempstead is blessed with unique downtown shopping districts, expansive parks and beaches and one of the most panoramic fairways anywhere in the Town-owned Harbor Links Golf Course.
