Manhasset —
the North Shore's
luxury standard.

Manhasset is one of Long Island's most prestigious communities — a place where micro-location matters enormously, pricing is hyper-dependent on street and setting, and the right home on the right block is worth the search.

In Manhasset, pricing is not just about the home — it's about micro-location. Two houses with the same specs can vary by millions depending on the street, the village, and the setting. Knowing the difference is everything.

Munsey Park

Munsey Park
Incorporated Village
Walkable to town Consistent demand School proximity Charming streetscape
Price Range~$2M – $3.5M+

Munsey Park is one of Manhasset's most consistent and liquid markets — a well-established incorporated village where demand is driven by walkability, charm, and proximity to the school district. Renovated Colonials here push into the $3M+ range, and well-priced homes move quickly.

It is the neighborhood buyers think of first when they think of Manhasset — tree-lined streets, a cohesive architectural identity, and a sense of community that is genuinely well-maintained. The median price in Munsey Park has historically tracked around $2.2M–$2.6M, with updated properties commanding significant premiums.

Plandome & Plandome Heights

Plandome
Incorporated Village
Most exclusive in Manhasset Larger parcels Estate character Water access Village prestige
Price Range~$2.5M – $10M+

Plandome is the most exclusive and private section of Manhasset — larger parcels, an estate feel, and pricing that is driven primarily by water access and village prestige. Trophy waterfront properties here reach $6M–$10M+. This is Manhasset's equivalent of Sands Point.

The village's character is defined by what it is not — not dense, not cookie-cutter, not easily replicated. Homes sit on generous lots with a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare on the North Shore. Shore Road in particular represents some of the most coveted residential real estate in Nassau County.

Plandome Manor

Plandome Manor
Incorporated Village
Quiet & established Generous lot sizes Strong community Near Plandome village
Price Range~$2M – $5M+

Plandome Manor is an incorporated village adjacent to Plandome, offering the same school district and general character with its own distinct identity. The neighborhood features generous lot sizes, established landscaping, and a quieter residential atmosphere that appeals to buyers who want space and privacy without the full Plandome price premium.

Homes here range from well-maintained traditional Colonials and Tudors to significantly renovated and newly constructed properties. The village benefits from its proximity to both the Plandome LIRR station and the broader Manhasset community, making it a practical and desirable address.

Flower Hill (Manhasset Side)

Flower Hill
Incorporated Village
Larger lots Space + proximity New construction Best blend of value
Price Range~$1.8M – $4M+

Flower Hill straddles Manhasset and Port Washington, offering larger lots and a more spread-out feel than Munsey Park. Value here is tied heavily to lot size and the level of updates — new construction pushes the upper range, while original-condition homes represent some of the best entry points into the Manhasset school district.

It's the best blend of space and proximity without full Plandome pricing — and for buyers who want to be in the Manhasset school district with room to breathe, it's a consistent first choice.

Strathmore (North, South & Vanderbilt)

Strathmore
Neighborhood
Strong architectural identity Tudor & Colonial Vanderbilt section premium Commuter-friendly
Price Range~$2M – $4.5M+

Strathmore has one of the strongest architectural identities in Manhasset — a cohesive mix of Tudors and Colonials that gives the neighborhood a planned, luxury feel. It is divided into North, South, and Vanderbilt sections, with the Vanderbilt area commanding larger properties, newer construction, and premium pricing. The median across Strathmore tracks around $3M+.

The neighborhood is particularly strong for NYC commuters — well-located, well-maintained, and with a clear sense of identity that buyers recognize immediately. Quaker Ridge Road is the core Strathmore address, while Mill Spring Road in the Vanderbilt section represents the upper tier.

Bayview / South of Northern Blvd

Bayview
Neighborhood
Entry point to Manhasset Renovation upside Strong location Trade-up market
Price Range~$1.3M – $2.2M+

Bayview and the area south of Northern Boulevard represent the most accessible entry point into the Manhasset school district. Value here is driven by renovation potential and location — buyers who are willing to improve find strong upside, and many use this neighborhood to get into Manhasset before trading up within the community.

It is not the prestige address of Plandome or Strathmore, but it is unambiguously Manhasset — same schools, same community, same long-term appreciation story. For buyers who are price-sensitive but committed to the district, this is where the conversation starts.
