So where is Albertson? It's between Mineola and Roslyn. "It's a terrific location for highways, shopping, hospitals, houses of worship and schools," says Ronit Berman of Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. It's an easy commute into the city, adds Guy Barbieri of Laffey Fine Homes.
The village square at the corner of I.U. Willets Road and Willis Avenue has a World War II memorial, Clark says, noting the community hasn't lost its small-town feel.
Buyers can find a mix of Capes, Colonials and ranches and the occasional new construction, including a four-bedroom Colonial on Chaffee Avenue, which Barbieri is marketing for $924,900.
