Five Towns · Nassau County
Cedarhurst, NY homes recently sold at a median of about $1.29 million after roughly 63 days on market, with inventory hovering near 28 active listings. Cedarhurst's draw is its genuinely walkable Central Avenue downtown paired with a 40-to-50-minute LIRR ride to Penn Station or Grand Central Madison. Cedarhurst is the only one of the Five Towns where you can realistically live without getting in the car for daily errands. Central Avenue is a real downtown — a dense, continuous retail strip of boutiques, restaurants, cafes, groceries, banks and services running through the heart of the village, with the LIRR station sitting right at its edge.
Cedarhurst is about 20 miles from Midtown Manhattan. The LIRR Far Rockaway Branch runs from Cedarhurst station to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in roughly 40 to 50 minutes depending on the train. By car, the trip is typically 45 to 75 minutes via the Nassau Expressway and Belt Parkway, heavily dependent on traffic.
Yes — it is the most walkable of the Five Towns. Central Avenue offers a continuous downtown retail strip with restaurants, groceries, boutiques and services, and the LIRR station sits at its edge. Most homes in the village are within a 10-to-15-minute walk of the downtown, and Cedarhurst Park is centrally located.
The median sale price has recently run near $1.29 million. Co-ops and condos provide an entry point below $800,000, the bulk of single-family activity happens between roughly $900,000 and $1.4 million, and renovated or new-construction homes trade from $1.5 million into the $3 million range.
Yes. Unlike most of the surrounding Five Towns villages, Cedarhurst has a genuine attached-housing segment — co-ops, condos and small multi-family buildings, largely concentrated near the downtown and the LIRR station. Inventory is limited, so units tend to move quickly when priced correctly.
