No, and this distinction matters a lot if you’re buying or selling in Garden City Park. Garden City Park is a hamlet within the Town of North Hempstead — it has no village government, no incorporated village status, and is an entirely separate community from the Village of Garden City to its south.
The two share a similar name, but that’s where the overlap ends. The Village of Garden City has its own school district, its own municipal government, and median home prices that run significantly higher than Garden City Park’s.
This is one of the most important questions to get right before you make an offer in Garden City Park. The community falls within the New Hyde Park–Garden City Park Union Free School District for kindergarten through grade 6.
For grades 7 through 12, students feed into the Sewanhaka Central High School District. The 11040 zip code overlaps with other districts, so school assignment depends on your specific street address. Confirming this is part of our buyer process.
