Locust Valley

    A stretch of boutique stores, the Locust Valley Shoppes, local offices, firehouse, library and other quaint amenities make up the small town feel of Locust Valley proper. Surrounded by the incorporated villages of Mill Neck, Lattingtown and Matinecock, which all feature some of the most stunning properties on the island, the Locust Valley area in general is quite special. Early settlers built large estates, operated farms, played polo and established private country clubs in the immediate area including Piping Rock Country Club and The Creek Club. Education needs are met by the Locust Valley Public Schools and private school institutions include Friends Academy and Portledge School. Famed local restaurants include The Brass Rail, Buckram Stables and The Basil Leaf Café.
