Glen Head is a suburban hamlet on the north side of Long Island’s Nassau County, although nearby villages like Brookville, Muttontown, and Roslyn Harbor are all served by the Glen Harbor zip code as well. This section of Long Island is primarily residential, with the rental market characterized by single-family houses ranging from swanky to sensible. Golf courses and country clubs add significant greenery to the landscape, and the close access to the water makes it easy to do some boating and fishing.

LIU Post and the New York Institute of Technology are close at hand, making Glen Head a popular choice for students, faculty, and staff members. With the ride to Penn Station being only about an hour via MTA rail service, Glen Head is a terrific option for commuters, while the excellent schools and low crime rate boost the appeal for families.
