Commuting, dining and shopping in Hempstead
First settled by Dutch colonists in the 1600s, the village of Hempstead has long been a hub of commerce in Long Island. Although the village has transformed over the centuries, it remains a diverse spot with popular local restaurants, spacious parks and nearby shopping destinations. Hempstead is the largest community by population, not just in the Town of Hempstead but in all of Nassau County. “It’s a very nice community not too far from Queens and Brooklyn. The Roosevelt Mall and Hofstra University are right there, and there’s a big park,” says Sheila Miles, a licensed real estate agent and owner of Prime Realty who has over 13 years of experience. Hempstead makes it easy to stay in for the day, go for a drive or find a local restaurant to try.

Dining downtown and visiting Roosevelt Field mall
El Rincon Dominicano, La Hacienda and Pollos Mario Steak House & Seafood are some of the nearby restaurants that show the village's diversity. “Roosevelt Field mall is very close, maybe 10 minutes away. It’s a great selling point for people who don’t want to go to outlets in Riverhead. Roosevelt Field has also had so many changes. They’ve added stores like Neiman Marcus and done a lot of expansions,” says Femi Adebanjo, an associate broker at Keller Williams Legendary with over 12 years of experience. When it’s time to pick up groceries, residents can also visit CTown Supermarkets, Key Food Supermarket or Stop & Shop.
Colonial-style homes near it all
Most homes in Hempstead feature Cape Cod and colonial designs with moderate yards and list for $500,000 to $775,000. “Hempstead has lower home prices and lower taxes than nearby areas like Garden City, but it’s still 40 minutes to midtown by train and less than an hour by bus,” says Adebanjo. “I’d say it’s a mix of new people moving and residents who have been there for 20 or 30 years.” A handful of Colonial Revivals sell for over $1 million, but homes with six or more bedrooms built as recently as 2023 land in the $800,000 to $950,000 range. While most cars stay parked on paved driveways, it’s common to see some lining the narrow streets. Because Hempstead is a village, residents pay a village tax, making the taxes in the area on the higher end. Although Downtown Hempstead gets noisy with all the activity, these homes sit on much quieter streets.

Celebrating culture and community with annual events
The St. Paul Greek Orthodox Cathedral organizes an annual Greek Festival from May into June. The community is welcome to try Greek cuisine, hear live music, shop at the flea market and play games. Other places of worship fill Hempstead, including the Vedic Heritage Hindu temple and churches that follow Baptist and non-denominational practices. The Tyree Curry 5K Run/Walk also occurs every June at Kennedy Memorial Park in honor of Tyree Curry, a local teacher who was influential in the community. All funds raised go to the Hempstead Police Activity League (PAL), which organizes social and athletic programs for local children and their families. The CAP Index gives Hempstead a crime score of 6 out of 10, with 10 being the highest. The national average is 4. “The community is very safe. Some people think it’s not because they don’t live there, but I drive around the area a lot,” says Miles.
