Defying classification as a town or a village, Manhasset is actually four square miles of suburbia in the town of North Hempstead.  This bustling commercial area shares a peninsula with Port Washington and encompasses several villages, offering close proximity to Manhattan, fine beaches, county parks, renowned universities, and major airports.  Within the boundaries of Manhasset are the affluent communities of Munsey Park, Plandome Village, Plandome Heights Village, Plandome Manor Village, Flower Hill and North Hills.  Many of the homes in this area were designed by architects and custom built with master craftsmanship.  The retail corridor between Shelter Rock Road and Searington Road is known as the "Miracle Mile," showcasing internationally famous boutiques and shops.  Yacht and country clubs, town parks, pools, tennis courts, and golf courses are just a few of the nearby recreational amenities.  Historical points of interest include the Science Museum of Long Island and the Onderdonk House.  In 2005, a Wall Street Journal article ranked Manhasset as the best town for raising a family in the New York metropolitan area.
