Nestled in the attractive suburban area known as Manhasset, the Plandome villages share an ideal location in the town of North Hempstead. The bustling commercial area that surrounds the residential villages shares a peninsula with Port Washington. Close proximity to New York City attractions, fine beaches, county parks, shopping centers, entertainment and nightlife, colleges and universities, and major airports add to the quality of life. Many of the beautiful older homes in this area were designed by respected architects and custom built, sparing no expense or elegant detail. Even the newer homes were required to meet strict standards, for which the villages first incorporated, to maintain the value and visual appeal of this desirable area.
