Muttontown New York Homes for Rent

Characterized as a small village of picturesque hills and majestic estates in northern Oyster Bay Town, Muttontown offers an exclusive residential haven with one of Long Island's highest median household incomes. Nestled in the town of Oyster Bay, it is one of the North Shore communities with East Norwich to the north and Jericho on the south. Just 25 minutes from Manhattan, the village is served by Routes 106 and 25A. Muttontown was originally developed as part of "Gold Coast" fever around the turn of the century, and several of its former opulent estates serve today as major private sanctuaries: Woodcrest Club and the Muttontown Golf and Country Club. Muttontown Preserve, owned by Nassau County and open to the public, was once part of the lavish Knollwood Estate. Unlike many affluent Long Island villages that developed to capacity within a few short decades, Muttontown sharply increased in population over the last four decades of the 20th century.
