Team Modern X is based in West Hempstead, at 45 Cherry Valley Ave. We price homes here from the sales on the streets around us, not from a county average, and we know what buyers moving here from Queens and Brooklyn are looking for. If you are thinking about selling in 11552, this page is for you.
Why buyers want West Hempstead
- Commute: the LIRR West Hempstead Branch runs from West Hempstead, Hempstead Gardens and Lakeview stations, with direct trains to Penn Station and Atlantic Terminal at rush hour and a connection at Jamaica (for Grand Central too) the rest of the day, running roughly hourly off-peak.
- Space and green: Hempstead Lake State Park on the west side with trails and fields, Halls Pond Park in the middle of the hamlet, and Echo Park with its indoor pool.
- Housing stock: Capes, colonials, splits and ranches, many from the 1920s to 1960s, on lots buyers cannot find in the city. The Cathedral Gardens neighborhood is a draw on its own.
- Value: compared with Garden City next door, West Hempstead offers more house for the money with a similar commute.
- No village tax: West Hempstead is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, so there is no extra village layer on the tax bill or the permit process.
What moves prices here
- School district. Most homes are in the West Hempstead school district; a few blocks near the borders fall into the Malverne or Franklin Square districts, so we check the exact address. Buyers check the district before the kitchen.
- Walk to the train. Homes near the three stations carry a premium.
- Permits and certificates of occupancy. Finished basements, dormers and extensions are common here and buyers’ attorneys check every one with the Town of Hempstead Building Department.
- Taxes. Nassau taxes are high everywhere; a home with a fair assessment sells more easily than one whose taxes are out of line with the block. If yours look high, a grievance can help.
