Mineola New York Homes for Sale

Covering an area of two square miles, the village of Mineola combines desirable residential neighborhoods with a thriving business and commercial sector for a pleasing suburban setting. The local chamber of commerce is one of the largest on Long Island and plays an active role in the community. Mineola was once a center of Nassau County agricultural activity and the site of a popular fair that ran for more than 100 years. Revived in 1991 by the chamber and village leaders, the fair is once again wildly popular. Just 20 miles from New York City, the village combines great restaurants and lush parks filled with recreational amenities with excellent services. The teaching institution of Winthrop University Hospital has served as a major healthcare provider with a deep commitment to medical education and research for more than a century. Mineola has long been associated with daring young aviators who took off from the area's fields, including Charles Lindbergh on his historic flight to Paris in 1927.
