The most desirable over-55 community on Long Island is “The Greens” – located in Melville near LIE, exit 50 or NSP, exit 41. Residents of The Greens probably are unaware of its tumultuous history and how hard their nearby neighbors fought to see this development come to pass. (I flew back from Colorado during my summer vacation one year to speak at the Huntington Town Board Hearing before the vote to approve or disapprove the plans took place. After spending years with the local civic association fighting for this development, I wasn’t about to sit on the sidelines and not see the end result!) The success of The Greens is a tribute to all who believed that this was the right plan, at the right time, for our community.
There are many reasons that this development is so successful - the magnificent Clubhouse – where activities ranging from a gym and indoor pool to card rooms and meeting rooms – all providing opportunities for a broad range of interests; the Restaurant – a central place to meet friends and neighbors; the resort-sized pool area with lounge areas, plus the tennis courts and walking trails. And then there is The Greens Golf Course whose lovely vistas are enjoyed by both golfers and viewers alike. Gated with a staffed gate house to monitor those who enter and exit provides a secure environment for all the residents. View The Greens Photo Tour.
The varied housing styles allow many opportunities for ownership. The Villas, 2-home attached housing, some with basements are at the highest end. There are three models to choose from - the Florenza, the Viscaya, and the Valencia. Next are the Townhouses - four attached homes grouped together. The Mirasol are the units at the ends and the Medici are the 2 in the middle. There are two models for the Condo units – upper and lower for each the Caspian and the Cordova. Whichever model you choose you will enjoy being a part of this vibrant and active community. One other positive feature is that The Greens is part of the Half Hollow Hills School District – and as a resident you can utilize the Half Hollow Hills Library located nearby.
