Greenvale New York Homes for Rent

The tiny, quiet community of Greenvale is one of the unincorporated areas in the town of North Hampstead. In the early 1900s, many wealthy landowners purchased farms from the original settlers and created extravagant country manors and rural estates. Opportunities to work the land and construct these palatial residences drew many Italian and Polish laborers to the area, and many residents of modern Greenvale are actually descendants of these working-class heroes. Long Island University in neighboring Brookville is so close to Greenvale that it used the community name as its postal designation for more than four decades.
