Hewlett Park

Hewlett is a compact hamlet on the south shore of Long Island, tucked into Nassau County's southwestern corner as part of the area collectively known as the Five Towns, alongside Cedarhurst, Woodmere, Lawrence, and Inwood. Sitting just one square mile, it packs in a walkable commercial strip along Broadway where local boutiques, cafes, and a Trader Joe's draw residents on foot. The Long Island Rail Road's Hewlett Station connects commuters to Penn Station in roughly 45 minutes, making it a practical base for those who work in Manhattan but prefer a quieter pace at home. Grant Park, a 35-acre Nassau County recreation complex, anchors outdoor life with a fishing pond, an ice-skating rink, sports courts, and walking paths. G.W. Hewlett High School sits just off Broadway, keeping the community closely tied to its main corridor.
