But, because there is a wide variety of real estate available across two counties, home buyers who know where to look can more quickly [locate the home of their dreams](http://sdnyrealty.com/property-category/residential-properties/). # Long Island Housing Market Breakdown ## Nassau County Long Island’s eastern-most county, Nassau, has a population of more than a one million people who enjoy places like Eisenhower Park, Jones Beach and Roosevelt Field Mall. The area has homes that could suit [first-time home buyers](https://blog.sdnyrealty.com/blog/buying-your-first-home/), downsizing retirees and everyone in between. ### Mineola [The Village of Mineola](http://www.mineola-ny.gov/Pages/index), which sits in the heart of Nassau County, has nearly 20,000 full-time residents. Located in the Town of North Hempstead, Mineola offers homeowners a small town experience just 40 minutes from Manhattan. Mineola’s Main Street features local shopping and dining within walking distance of a major LIRR transit hub. ### Glen Cove On the North Shore, the City of Glen Cove has plenty to offer homebuyers who are interested in the Long Island housing market. With both beautiful beaches and plentiful parks, this 20-square mile suburban neighborhood has long drawn discerning families. This community by the Long Island Sound is one not to be missed. ### Rockville Centre The Village Rockville Centre, a century-old community with a sense of suburban charm, sits just 25 miles east of Manhattan. Its 10-block shopping district has just about anything a local customer could desire. Rockville Centre, which is near major Nassau County thoroughfares, has great eateries to satisfy any palette. In this South Shore neighborhood, its residents enjoy 150 acres of parks, playgrounds and ball fields. ![long island housing market](https://blog.sdnyrealty.com/hs-fs/hubfs/long_island_housing_market_3.jpg?width=600&name=long_island_housing_market_3.jpg "long island housing market") ## Suffolk County Spanning the North Fork and South Fork, Suffolk County has about 1.5 million residents across 10 towns. They benefit from easy access to nearby attractions like Atlantic Ocean beaches, Bethpage State Park and the Long Island Sound. ### Smithtown [The Town of Smithtown](http://www.smithtownny.gov/), which is approximately 111 square miles, is broken-down into three villages and eight hamlets, including Kings Park and St. James. Smithtown Central School District has eight elementary schools, three middle schools and two high schools. The 350-year-old town also borders the Long Island Sound. ### Huntington At the western end of Suffolk County, the Town of Huntington’s four villages and 13 hamlets have approximately 200,000 residents total. Huntington, which dates back to 1653, features five harbors and three marinas. The 93-square mile town is served by eight different public school districts. The 110 Corridor, the area bordering Route 110 in Melville, is now becoming a major business area. ### Brookhaven Suffolk County’s largest town features many viable real estate options. In between Riverhead and Patchogue, the Town of Brookhaven offers a quintessential small town experience right here in New York. Brookhaven, which has nearly 500,000 residents, is the home of Stony Brook University. Apart from these six choice locations, the Long Island housing market offers a wealth of other neighborhoods to suit any type of home buyer.
