Hewlett sits in southwest Nassau County, minutes from Valley Stream, Woodmere, and Cedarhurst. As part of the historic Five Towns, tree-lined blocks, tidy lawns, and a lively Broadway business district set an easy rhythm, while the Long Island Rail Road’s Hewlett station places Penn Station and Midtown within reach. Weekend routines often start at Grant Park, with its pond, trails, playgrounds, and seasonal ice rink, or extend to beaches and preserves managed by the Town of Hempstead just a short drive away.
Families are drawn to Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools for strong academics, arts, and athletics led by George W. Hewlett High School, and the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library adds author talks, STEAM programs, and study spaces year-round. Private and parochial choices, including the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway, HAFTR, broaden educational options. Commuters and students alike rely on the NICE bus network, and healthcare needs are anchored by Mount Sinai South Nassau nearby. Leisure is close to home, but larger retail, dining, and entertainment hubs in Rockville Centre and the South Shore are easily accessible.
Whether you’re upsizing, rightsizing, or planning a first purchase, Hewlett offers a comfortable pace, strong community services, and quick connections around the region.
