For those who may not be familiar with Old Westbury:

Old Westbury is a village (incorporated in 1924) partly in the southeast part of the Town of North Hempstead and partly in the central-west part of the Town of Oyster Bay, in the central part of Nassau County along the North Hempstead/Oyster Bay town line.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Village of Old Westbury in the Town of North Hempstead and the Town of Oyster Bay is bordered on the north by the Village of Brookville in the Town of Oyster Bay; on the east by the Village of Brookville and the Hamlet of Jericho in the Town Oyster Bay; on the south by the Village of Westbury in the Town of North Hempstead; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Roslyn Heights and the Village of East Hills in the Town of North Hempstead.





The Village of Old Westbury has a different border than does the "Old Westbury, NY 11568" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can be in the Village of Old Westbury and have other than an "Old Westbury, NY 11568" mailing address): there are places in the Village of Old Westbury that have a "Glen Head, NY 11545", "Roslyn, NY 11576" and "Jericho, NY 11753" mailing address.

Well for starters most homes there start around $2M. You may find a fixer-upper for under that. Most properties are zoned for at least 2 acres. The area is decidely more rural looking yet close to everything -- quite beautiful.

There are 3 school districts: East Williston, Jericho & Westbury. Quite honestly there is no area you need to avoid in the vicinity except for New Cassel.
