Discover Old Westbury: The Pinnacle of Gold Coast Grandeur

Once home to America’s most storied families, Old Westbury remains a symbol of unmatched prestige, land-rich living, and architectural magnificence. This iconic North Shore village is where Long Island’s legacy of wealth and refinement reaches its zenith—where sprawling estates, manicured grounds, and old-money elegance still define the landscape.

Palatial Estates with Enduring Prestige
Old Westbury features:

  • Gilded Age mansions on 5–50+ acre parcels

  • Custom-built palazzos with private gates and reflecting pools

  • Grand European-style villas with formal gardens and carriage houses

  • Horse-ready estates with paddocks and professional stables

Neighborhood Highlights:
✔ Home to the famed Old Westbury Gardens and arboretum
✔ Minutes from Meadow Brook Polo Club and NYIT’s private golf course
✔ Elite private schools nearby (The Wheatley School, Friends Academy)
✔ Quick access to the LIE and Northern State Parkway for NYC commute

The Old Westbury Lifestyle
Morning: Private pilates session in your sunroom or gym wing
Afternoon: Hosting a luncheon by your marble pool pavilion
Evening: Sunset over formal rose gardens or from your rooftop terrace
Weekends: Polo matches, philanthropic galas, or helicopter to the Hamptons

Why Discerning Buyers Choose Old Westbury
