OLD WESTBURY IN A NUTSHELL

Conveniently located just south of Long Island’s “Gold Coast,” Old Westbury is slightly more than a half-hour commute to Manhattan via train or car, but feels a world away. Old Westbury is consistently ranked among the nation’s wealthiest suburbs. The Village is exclusively residential (with the exception of recreational facilities that cater to its population), and is occupied by an estimated 4200 residents, or 1000 households.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND

Encompassing 8.6 square miles, the size of the properties in this elite Village range from two-acres to more than 100-acres and housing styles run the gamut from Gilded Age manor homes to the chicest contemporaries.

WHAT’S TO LOVE

Old Westbury offers a very private lifestyle yet with easy access to high-end shopping, purveyors of everyday provisions, fine restaurants, private country clubs with world-class golf courses and several institutions of higher learning.  A fabled “equestrian’s paradise”, the Village has retained miles of riding trails, and is home to a horse farm and polo grounds.

LOCAL VIBE

Private, discreet, confident.

KEEPING BUSY

In addition to the aforementioned golf clubs, stables, trails, polo grounds, and educational facilities, “Old Westbury Gardens”, an original and magnificent Gilded Age estate built for John Phipps, heir to the U.S. Steel fortune, is open to the public as a house museum, offers tours of its breathtaking gardens, and hosts seasonal events.
