As Mayor of East Hills I would like to cordially welcome you to our website and invite you to gain a greater insight into one of the finest communities in America. Our sense of community is one of the strongest. Our lifestyle is one of the very best. These conclusions are supported by news reports in the NEW YORK TIMES (click here) and NEWSDAY (click here). Through this introductory note I hope to convey the enviable lifestyle our residents enjoy.

East Hills is the largest of all the villages in Roslyn. We are fortunate to have 7,000 residents with 2,300 homes. If you have any questions you would like answered, please use the Instant Access Program below on the right and we will be glad to respond promptly to your inquiries. Let me begin by saying that the real credit for our success belongs to our residents who are neighborly, outgoing, and friendly. We work closely together every day, and host a variety of fun-filled events together. During the summer we once again held a one-of-a-kind, spectacular July 4th Fireworks Display on the Great Lawn at the Park at East Hills Close to 5,000 people were astonished at the incomparable show. At the end of the summer on Labor Day we had one of the finest concerts we have ever held when Voyage, a tribute band to Journey performed. It's always fun in East Hills. With all the new events over the summer by the Kids in the Park Committee, East Hills is truly a haven for families.

Overall, our crowning glory is the acquisition and construction of our 50-plus acre park, which is now the center of our community. All residents are given access to the state-of-the-art facilities, which feature the largest leisure pool of any village on Long Island with a 12,000 sq. feet swimming pool, a separate pool for toddlers measuring 707 sq. ft; men's and lady's locker rooms; snack bar area and large lounge area surrounding the heated pool. It also features a new Senior center with a separate card room, two age distinct children's playgrounds, six tennis courts with a new tennis facility, two multi-use fields with one accommodating men's softball, and both little league, and soccer competition. Snuggled in the 15 acres of hills is a nature and jogging trail. There is a fully renovated auditorium, a picnic area, and a general use field for lawn games. Finally, there are bike, rollerblading and walking paths, two basketball courts, and two "bark parks" for various sized canine members of the family.



East Hills is also committed to protecting the environment by going green, reducing emissions, and reducing the consumption of fuel. One program to achieve these desired goals is through the purchase of hybrid vehicles for the department of Public Safety.



In short, thanks in major part to my Board of Trustee's, our Village has grown in stature and prestige and is known for its cutting edge innovations, whether it is our new park, our essential services, our internship program for high school students, our one-of-a-kind Village Calendar that is sent to all our residents each year with convenient dates and information, beautification programs or the new local laws passed to protect the lifestyle of our residents.
