What it’s like
The place. Upper Brookville is a small village on the North Shore of Long Island, home to a quiet, settled population that skews older than the typical American community. Homes here are valued far above what is usual across the country and well above most of Nassau County. Nearly all adults hold a four-year degree, and hardly anyone lives below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January highs and lows around or below freezing, while summers turn warm, with July the hottest month. Snow falls a few times each winter, and rain and melted snow are spread fairly evenly through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in banks, insurance and property, and in shops. Across Nassau County, the largest workplaces are hospitals and health systems, among them Long Island Jewish Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital and Northwell. Joblessness in the county is about where it stood a year ago, and the number of jobs has grown only slightly. The typical commute is long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The best known places within reach are in and around New York City, all a longer drive away. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art are major city museums, and Central Park is its great public garden. The Statue of Liberty is among the most visited landmarks in the country, and plans for any of these are best made as a full day out.
