The story

How Manhasset Hills came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Manhasset Hills.

Read it all →

By the late 1950s, much of the land in Manhasset Hills had been developed into residential neighborhoods by developers. One of the last major developments to be built was the Cherrywood Homes development, which was built on a 24-acre (9.7 ha) tract by Barney and Martin Spiegel. The development was built with 88 split-level houses designed by A.H. Salkowitz, and was developed on one of the last remaining major undeveloped tracts of land available in Manhasset Hills.
