Matinecock
County:
Nassau
Nestled in the town of Oyster Bay, the affluent community of Matinecock was one of several villages that became incorporated in the 1920s to give wealthy developers more control of their environment. This idyllic, completely residential enclave with a population that is still counted in the hundreds recently hit the national spotlight when it was suggested by Worth magazine that it might be the most expensive place in the nation. Certainly, the median home price in Matinecock is difficult to top—which is also true of the median household income. The village is home to the legendary Piping Rock Club, founded in 1912. In the early decades of the 20th century, the club played host to heads of state and royalty. Today, simple wealth is the norm.
