Take a Spring Walk Around Long Island
Our real estate agents know that the wonderful scenery is one of the best things about Long Island. Long Island Sound is a mere 21 miles at its widest point, but living here is like stepping into nature's bounty. The 600 miles of coastline aren't your only choice for a nice walk, either!

Where to Appreciate Watercolor Art on Long Island
Oil paintings may be impressive, but there are so many other artistic mediums out there that are just as beautiful.

A Look at Long Island Through a Tourist's Eyes
If you're a resident of Long Island, looking at your community through the eyes of a tourist can help you rediscover or make a first trip to many interesting local destinations. You won't need to worry about traveling far or spending a lot of money, and if you'd like to make a return trip, they're within an easy drive.
Our real estate agents suggest exploring the following destinations to take a look at Long Island through a tourist's eyes:
- Old Westbury Gardens – 71 Old Westbury Rd., Old Westbury, NY 11568
Old Westbury Gardens and the estate of the same name, located near Old Westbury homes for sale, make you feel as though you've stepped into the pages of The Great Gatsby. The gorgeous grounds consist of 160 acres of lawns, wooded paths, beautiful gardens, water fountains, ponds, and lakes, and you'll frequently find events such as festivals hosted in the gardens. The estate, a 44-room English manor house, was built by financier John Phipps in 1906 and is also available to tour.
