East Hills is not a neighborhood. It is a self-governing incorporated village with its own building department, its own zoning code, its own tax levy, and school district lines that do not follow any logic you can see on a map. Most of the village feeds into the Roslyn Union Free School District — ranked number two in New York State. But the southeastern portions fall into the East Williston Union Free School District, and the northeastern section in the Town of Oyster Bay feeds into Jericho. A buyer who assumes any East Hills address means Roslyn schools could purchase a home and discover their children are zoned somewhere else entirely.
When you work with us — a local real estate company in East Hills that has done the homework — you do not find this out at the closing table. You find it out before you fall in love with the house. That distinction — knowing the school district assignment at the parcel level, not just the village level — is the kind of local knowledge that changes outcomes for families buying here.
Beyond the school district question, East Hills has fewer than 25 homes on the market at any given time. In a village of over 2,200 single-family homes, that is less than one percent of the housing stock actively listed. Homes go pending in as few as 20 days. If your agent is monitoring the market part-time, you are already behind. Working with us — a full-time professional real estate brokerage in East Hills — means you hear about the right homes fast enough to actually act on them.
I’m a licensed Broker Associate and Certified Buyer Broker operating under Signature Premier Properties — Long Island’s fastest-growing independent real estate firm, with more than 20 offices across Nassau and Suffolk counties. I’ve been selling real estate on Long Island for over 15 years, working across Nassau County’s North Shore communities, including East Hills and the Greater Roslyn area.
Real estate is my full-time career, not something I fit in around another schedule. My clients consistently point to one thing in their reviews: no surprises. I explain the process clearly, stay reachable by call or text, and give honest pricing guidance even when it is not what a seller wants to hear. In a market like East Hills — where homes are selling at over 103 percent of asking price and the stakes of a mispriced listing are measured in six figures — that kind of straight talk matters.
I also bring a referral network that is directly useful here: attorneys familiar with incorporated village closings, home inspectors who know what to look for in postwar construction that has been renovated multiple times, and contractors who understand the East Hills building department’s permit requirements. That network is not a bonus. In this village, it is part of the service.
For sellers, it starts with an honest conversation about what your home is worth right now — not what you hope it is worth, and not an inflated number designed to win your listing. I offer a complimentary comparative market analysis with no obligation. I pull recent sold data from East Hills and the Greater Roslyn market, look at active competition, and give you a pricing range grounded in what buyers are actually paying. From there, I build a marketing approach around your specific home and timeline.
For buyers, the first step is understanding what you are actually shopping for in East Hills. That means confirming school district assignment at the parcel level before you tour a single home. It means understanding the incorporated village tax structure — the village levy sits on top of Nassau County taxes and Town of North Hempstead taxes — and knowing what that means for your monthly carrying costs. It means understanding the Park at East Hills, the residents-only recreational complex at 209 Harbor Hill Road, and what village residency actually includes. These are not details you figure out after the offer is accepted.
Once you are under contract, I coordinate the full process: attorney review, home inspection, financing, and closing. My referral network covers every professional you will need, and because East Hills runs its own building department with permits filed through the village’s Cloudpermit portal, having an inspector and attorney who already know the village’s process saves real time and real stress. The goal from start to finish is that you reach the closing table without a single development that catches you off guard.

East Hills is 100 percent single-family detached homes — every one of them owner-occupied. There are no condos, no co-ops, no rentals, and no multi-family buildings anywhere in the village. That means every transaction here is an owner-to-owner sale with no investor flipping activity and no rental income analysis to complicate things. What it does mean is that buyers are making long-term lifestyle decisions at a significant price point, and sellers are negotiating with buyers who have done serious research.
Whether you are buying or selling in East Hills, working with me means you get representation that accounts for the specifics of this village. For buyers, that includes school district verification at the parcel level across all three districts that serve East Hills — Roslyn, East Williston, and Jericho — along with a clear explanation of the village tax structure, the incorporated village permit process, and what the Park at East Hills residency benefit actually covers. For sellers, it means accurate pricing based on real East Hills and Greater Roslyn comparable sales, professional marketing aimed at the qualified buyer pool that can purchase at this price point, and honest guidance on timing and presentation.
I also provide references for the professionals you will need to complete the transaction: attorneys experienced with incorporated village procedures, home inspectors familiar with the postwar construction common across East Hills subdivisions like Canterbury Woods, Fairfield Park, and Lakeville Estates, and contractors who know how to navigate the village’s building department. You do not have to find these people yourself.
Yes, and this is one of the most important things to verify before making an offer on any East Hills home. Most of the village is served by the Roslyn Union Free School District, which is ranked number two in New York State by Niche and has a strong track record of college placement including Ivy League acceptances. However, the southeastern portions of East Hills — particularly those closer to the Long Island Expressway — fall within the East Williston Union Free School District, which serves The Wheatley School. The small northeastern section of East Hills that sits within the Town of Oyster Bay is zoned for the Jericho Union Free School District.
None of these boundaries are obvious from a street map or a ZIP code lookup. The district assignment is determined at the individual parcel level, and it does not always align with what you might expect based on the street or subdivision. Before you schedule a showing on any East Hills property, school district assignment should be confirmed — not assumed. This is something I verify as a standard part of the buyer process, not an afterthought.
East Hills is a self-governing incorporated village, which means it operates with its own municipal government, building department, zoning code, and tax levy — all layered on top of Nassau County taxes and Town of North Hempstead taxes. For buyers, this has several practical implications. Any renovation, addition, or new construction after closing requires permits filed through the village’s own building department, using the Cloudpermit online portal. The village administers its own zoning code under Chapter 271, which governs residential construction, setbacks, and building limitations. An attorney and inspector who are not familiar with incorporated village procedures can slow down a transaction or miss something important.
The village tax layer also funds real amenities. East Hills residents have exclusive access to the Park at East Hills — a 50-plus-acre recreational complex at 209 Harbor Hill Road that includes a 12,000-square-foot pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, and walking trails. The park operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day and is available only to village residents with a park card. Understanding what you are paying for in the village tax structure — and what you are getting in return — is part of making a well-informed purchase decision at this price point.
East Hills is a firmly competitive market. At any given time, there are fewer than 25 homes listed for sale across the entire village — a community of over 2,200 single-family homes. Well-priced listings are going pending in as few as 20 days, and homes in the Greater Roslyn area, which includes East Hills, have been selling at approximately 103 percent of asking price. The months-of-supply figure for this market sits around 2.7, which means inventory is being absorbed faster than it is replenished.
For buyers, this means two things. First, you need an agent who is monitoring the East Hills market every day — not checking in when their schedule allows. When a well-priced home comes available here, the window to act is short. Second, offer strategy matters enormously at the $1.5 million to $2 million-plus price point. Knowing when to move quickly, how to structure a competitive offer, and what contingencies are realistic in this environment requires experience in this specific market. I work this market full-time and can give you real-time guidance on what it takes to win here without overpaying.
The East Hills market rewards accurate pricing and punishes overpricing. With homes selling at over 103 percent of asking price in the Greater Roslyn area, a well-priced home in East Hills will attract serious buyers quickly and can generate multiple offers. But a home that is priced too high sits on the market, loses momentum, and ultimately sells for less than it would have if priced correctly from day one. Buyers and their agents notice when a listing has been sitting. It raises questions, and those questions cost sellers negotiating leverage.
Pricing an East Hills home accurately requires pulling real comparable sales from within the village and the surrounding Greater Roslyn market — not just broad Nassau County data. The median sold price in East Hills is approximately $1.8 million, but the range within the village is wide, from renovated ranches and Cape Cods at the lower end to custom-built estates well above $3 million. The right price depends on the specific subdivision, the condition of the home, the school district it falls in, and what has actually closed in the past 90 days. I provide a complimentary comparative market analysis that gives you that specific picture, with no obligation to list.
Because East Hills is an incorporated village with its own building department, any renovation or addition after closing goes through the village — not the Town of North Hempstead. Permit applications are filed through the village’s Cloudpermit online portal, and the village administers its own zoning code with specific requirements for setbacks, height ratios, and building limitations. This is a different process than what buyers may be used to from other Nassau County communities, and it is one that contractors and attorneys unfamiliar with East Hills can underestimate.
For buyers planning to renovate after purchase, this means two things practically. First, it is worth having a pre-purchase conversation with a contractor who has worked within the East Hills building department before, so you understand what is and is not feasible under the village’s zoning code before you close. Second, the home inspection matters more than usual in a village where the housing stock includes homes originally built in the late 1940s and 1950s — subdivisions like Canterbury Woods, Fairfield Park, and Strathmore — that have been renovated multiple times over the decades. I can connect you with inspectors and contractors who already know this environment.
The low inventory in East Hills is exactly why having a well-connected, full-time agent matters more here than in a higher-volume market. When fewer than 25 homes are listed across the entire village at any given moment, the buyers and sellers who succeed are often the ones whose agents have relationships within the local professional ecosystem — other agents, attorneys, and community contacts who sometimes know about a home before it hits the MLS. In a market this tight, the difference between hearing about a listing on day one and day five can be the difference between getting the home and missing it entirely.
For sellers, low inventory is an advantage — but only if the home is priced correctly and marketed to the right buyer pool. At the $1.5 million to $2 million-plus price point, the qualified buyer pool is smaller, and reaching them requires more than a basic MLS listing. I’m a full-time licensed Broker Associate and Certified Buyer Broker affiliated with Signature Premier Properties, Long Island’s fastest-growing independent real estate firm. That combination of personal attention, market knowledge, and professional infrastructure is what makes the difference in a village where every transaction counts and the margin for error is measured in six figures.
