<h1 style="text-align: center;">Great Neck, <em>New York City</em></h1>
<p>On a divergent piece of land between Manhasset and Little Neck bays near the north shore of Long Island, sits the community of Great Neck, one of only nine towns that occupy the peninsula. Mostly farms since the mid-17 century, the population of Great Neck quadrupled in less than four decades due to suburbanization after the second world war. Various neighborhoods boast homes from five different centuries. Author F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in neighboring Great Neck Estates where he fashioned much of his writing after the people and culture of the area.</p>

For a town of its size, local shopping and entertainment opportunities abound, however if that doesn&rsquo;t meet your needs, Manhattan is a mere 25 minutes away via the nearby rail line. The Nassau County Sheriff and Great Neck School System and Library all service the area. With a median family income just shy of $100,000, approximately 10,000 people, mostly married couples and families with children, call Great Neck home. And because of its proximity to New York City, where most residents commute to work, this community is affordable for executives and professionals alike.&nbsp;</span></p>
